Fireworks on Table Four Culminate in Exit for Wong

Level 25 : Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

Three ways to the 964 flop, Renato Villanueva checked and Edzel Villares bet 49,000. Recently arrived Marlon Laxamana opted to call before Villanueva check-raised to 120,000 with around 220,000 behind. Villares folded and Laxamana opted for the same decision.

What followed was a preflop reraise with 160,000 in the middle between Laxamana and Alex Chong. The latter jammed the Q656 turn for 274,000 and Laxamana asked for a count before using two time banks. He then called for most of his stack to create a near seven-figure pot.

Alex Chong: AK All in
Marlon Laxamana: JJ

Chong had been involved in a ton of hands throughout the day with his stack experiencing wild swings as a result. It would be his last hand of the tournament, though, as the 9 river was a blank.
