Ong Cripples Wu, Lee Administers Coup de Grace

Manila Megastack 7 champion Po-Yi Wu opened the action with a raise from mid-position and Jun Yi Ong moved all-in from the small blind. Wu made a speedy call and the cards were turned over.

Po-Yi Wu:
Jun Yi Ong:

Wu had Ong covered and the best pre-flop hand. Unfortunately for Wu the flop came down to give Ong a lead he would not relinquish and while the turn gave Wu some additional outs the river was not one of them and he was left with a paltry 1,600 while Ong stacked up to 43,000.

Wu was all in the next hand for the last of his chips with a player in mid-position making the call before Alex Lee offered the Taiwanese player some protection with a raise to 5,500 from the big blind to fold out the caller.

Alex Lee:

Wu’s fate was decided by a good old-fashioned race, though unfortunately for the Taiwanese player it was one he lost when the board ran out to pair Lee’s king on the turn. Wu headed for the rail while Lee stacked up to 74,000.
