Wong's Gamble Pays Off

Level 3 : Blinds 300/700, 700 ante

Daniel Wong was all-in preflop for 77,600 from the small blind and Sachin Joshi was the player trying to bust him before the first break of the evening.

Daniel Wong: 76 All in
Sachin Joshi: AK

Wong was behind, but he did have live cards against the Big Slick of Joshi. A safe flop of Q105 fell for Joshi, but the 8 turn gave Wong a straight draw. The 7 dropped on the river to give Wong the winner with a pair of sevens.

"I got you!" Wong exclaimed jubilantly as he pulled in the pot, much to the amusement of the rest of the table.
