Fung Doubles through Porter

Oh to run good one time. If poker players get nine lives Steven Fung definitely just used one up at this final table. He moved all in for 675,000 after Thomas Bichon opened to 100,000. Action folded around to Rep Porter, who moved all in himself, drawing groans from Fung's supporters in the gallery. Bichon quickly folded, leaving Fung and Porter heads-up with Fung at risk of elimination.

Cards, gentlemen!

Fung: {K-Hearts} {8-Hearts}
Porter: {A-Spades} {K-Spades}

Fung remained in his seat, staring glumly at the center of the table. His expression did not change on a flop of {6-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds} {6-Spades}. The turn {9-Clubs}, however, was the perfect sweat card. Porter could only smile and shake his head when he saw it, as if he knew exactly what was coming next.

He was right. The {5-Clubs} hit the river to give Fung a nine-high straight and the pot. He doubled up to 1.5 million.
