Ong Escapes From Elimination
Level 14
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Linh Ran Nguyen had won yet more chips while Jason Ong on the same table was left with a short stack, which he pushed in from an early position for 37,500. Chip leader Ryan McAllister called and everybody else got out of the way.
Jason Ong: A♦10♦
Ryan McAllister: 8♦8♣
The 5♠3♦3♥ flop and 7♣ turn were of no help. However, Ong spiked the A♣ on the river to survive. Kar Sing Thong and Maria Argao were not as fortunate as both departed moments later on different tables.
The recent carnage has whittled down the field to just 56 hopefuls of which 40 will advance to Day 2 from this very flight.
