Hong Tough

[user46392]

After an excellent day of slow but sure upward grindage, Chaz Chattha is right back down to 26,500.

We caught up with him on the {J-Spades}

{J-Spades}

{8-Hearts}

{8-Spades}

flop, when Catherine Hong bet out 2,100. Chattha made it 6,200, Hong called, and they proceeded.

We must confess that we were momentarily distracted on the {K-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

turn so we missed the action, but re-focused come the {6-Hearts}

{6-Hearts}

turn, which Hong checked. Chattha bet a chunky 15,000 and Hong called.

Chattha: {8-Diamonds}

{8-Diamonds}

{9-Diamonds}

for flopped trips
Hong: {Q-Hearts}

{Q-Hearts}

{J-Hearts}

for flopped two pair that turned into a flush on the river

"Nice hand," sighed Chattha, tapping the table in acknowledgment. Hong, nonchalantly munching on a sandwich, is up to 80,000.
