Wong Takes Out Three

Level 10 : 800/1,500, 1,500 ante
She Lok Wong
She Lok Wong

We tried to reconstruct what happened on Table 3 from the bloody aftermath. Three players were busted, their $100 bounties going to She Lok Wong, who's stacking about 300,000.

On the flop of {7-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}, four players got all their chips in the middle. One had flopped a set, two are unknown, and Wong had {q-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} for the gutshot with flush draw.

The {9-Hearts} turn and {2-Diamonds} river completed the board and the flush for Wong, who scooped it all, sending three players to the rail.

Kush Patel opened, got a couple of callers, then the player in Seat 10 jammed from the blinds. Patel moved in as did the player in Seat 4 and the hands were tabled:

Patel: {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs}
Seat 4: {a-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}
Seat 10: {8-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}

Board: {a-Spades}{6-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}

Patel's kicker played and he scooped it all, felting Seat 4 in the process.
