Chong Gets Paid
Victor Chong has been a busy man since the last time we caught him in action and the Malaysian player has run his stack up to the giddy heights of 217,000, though he has just increased this still further at the expense of a tablemate.
Action folded around to Chong on the button he popped it up to 4,000 with the big blind the only caller. The 
flop looked like a good one to continuation bet, and Chong evidently thought so too, firing out for another 4,000 when the big blind checked.
That was not enough to deter his opponent, however, who made the call to bring in the 
turn. The big blind checked again and this time Chong checked it back and the 
washed in on the river.
Chong’s opponent checked for the third time and after thinking it over for a few seconds Chong slid out a 9,000 bet, which was quickly called. The Malaysian turned over 
for a rivered top pair and that was enough to take down the hand when the big blind mucked.
