Yong The Next to Fall as Kong Earns a Knockout
Level 10
: Blinds 0/0, 10,000 ante
Only nine players remain in contention with more than two full levels to be played for tonight. The top six spots are paid and Wai Kin Yong doesn't have a shot at prize money anymore after he bowed out against Chen Ming Kong.
Short-stacked with some ten antes, Yong jammed and Kong called with the superior pocket pair.
Wai Kin Yong: 9♣9♦
Chen Ming Kong: Q♣Q♥
The A♣10♠8♥ flop and 8♠ turn kept the bigger-stacked Kong ahead, the J♠ river didn't change that either.
