Three More Depart; Nick Wong Doubles; Wu Doubles Through Joey Wong

The action is coming to the boil here at the Venetian Macau and we have lost three more players to take the field down to 19 with Christina Lai falling at the hands of Ho Yin Sau. We missed the hand unfortunately but turned around in time to see Sau counting up his new chips to climb to 53,000 while Lai headed for the rail.

Nick Wong has managed to double up and has climbed to 25,000 in chips. Another Wong who has taken a little bit of a set back in Joey Wong, who has not long doubled up Yu Fai Wu.

We arrived on the flop with the community cards spread and 6,000 already in the pot just as Wu (hi-jack) fired out a bet of 2,800. Joey Wong (cutoff) re-raised to 6,000 in total and Wu quickly moved all-in for 22,600 in total.

With chips to spare Wong decided to make the call and the cards were turned over.

Joey Wong:

Wu was the at-risk player and would need to fade a diamond or an ace to survive and did so when the turn and river completed the hand and locked in his double up.
