Kong Goes Runner-Runner But Receives No River Value
Level 15
: Blinds 0/0, 30,000 ante
Chen Ming Kong limped the Q♥J♦, as did Danny Tang with the A♣7♠. Paul Phua on the button checked the 8♠8♣ and they headed to the A♠J♠7♦ flop. Kong bet 150,000 and Tang made the call while Phua folded.
After the 10♣ turn, Kong bet another 250,000 and Tang stuck around to the K♥ river. Kong double-checked his cards once more and even used a time bank extension to then bet a significant amount for 700,000 total. Tang didn't fall for it and folded as Kong pulled ahead.
