Chong Takes One Off Lam
Level 17
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
The action was opened under the gun when Heng Chong moved all in for his last 49,000 chips. One by one every single player folded all the way to Sandy Lam in the big blind. She mulled over her options for awhile and seemed to be in a tough spot for the small shove. Eventually she flicked in a call and the cards hit their backs.
Heng Chong: A♣J♣ 
Sandy Lam: Q♦7♦
The full board ran out 7♥A♦4♣5♣6♠ and with a pair of aces, Chong got the pure double to stay alive.
