The turn was the {6-Hearts}. Tonh fired again for 15,500. Piccioli came along again.

The river was the {q-Hearts}. Tong gathered together more chips and fired a third barrel for 55,500. Piccioli again called.

Tong turned over the {8-Spades}{6-Spades} for trip sixes which bested the {7-Spades}{7-Clubs} as show on the stream, of Piccioli, who mucked.

Tong Decimates Rice With River Wheel

Level 12 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Jimmy Tong
Jimmy Tong

Action was picked up on the turn with the board reading {2-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{10-Spades} with three players in the hand. Shawn Rice bet 10,000, James Duke folded and Jimmy Tong called.

The river came the {3-Diamonds}. Tong pushed a stack of chips forward for a big bet of about 90,000. Rice waited a few moments and announced all in which Tong called quickly.

Rice turned over a flopped set with the {2-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} while Tong tabled the rivered wheel with the {a-Clubs}{4-Clubs} much to Rice's dismay as his once large stack was reduced to nearly nothing while Tong shot up the chip leaderboard like a rocket.
