Wong Takes Down Biggest Pot of the Night

Level 9 : 400/800, 800 ante

The {3-}{3-}{2-} board saw two big stacks collide in Ralph Wong and Constantinos Psallidas. The two each put in a stack that was around 100,000 and then tabled their hands.

Psallidas turned over a pair of aces and was up against the pocket ducks of Wong, giving him a boat. The board ran out dry and Wong pulled in the pot, sending Psallidas to the rail.
