Fu Wong Eliminated in 2nd Place ($259,910); Eric Brooks Wins!

Fu Wong - 2nd Place
Fu Wong - 2nd Place
Eric Brooks was the bring-in with the {5-Diamonds} and Fu Wong completed showing the {A-Clubs}. Brooks then raised and Wong called.

On 4th street Wong checked with the {4-Hearts} and Brooks fired a bet after catching the {3-Diamonds}. Wong then raised, and Brooks reraised, Wong made the call for the last of his chips.

Brooks: ({A-Hearts}{5-Spades}) {5-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}
Wong: ({4-Clubs}{10-Clubs}) {A-Clubs}{4-Hearts}

On 5th street Brooks hit an ace to extend his lead and leaving Wong needing to hit one of the two remaining fours.

Brooks: ({A-Hearts}{5-Spades}) {5-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{A-Diamonds}
Wong: ({4-Clubs}{10-Clubs}) {A-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{2-Hearts}

Right on cue as the railbirds called “four!”, Wong got his miracle on 6th street:

Brooks: ({A-Hearts}{5-Spades}) {5-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{A-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}
Wong: ({4-Clubs}{10-Clubs}) {A-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}

“No diamond!” came the cry from Wong as Brooks turned over his final card. “Oh my god!” exclaimed Wong as Brooks showed the {Q-Diamonds} for the running flush. Wong would need a pair on the river to make a full house or better to stay alive, but was dismayed as he flipped the {9-Clubs}. The final boards were:

Brooks: ({A-Hearts}{5-Spades}) {5-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{A-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} ({Q-Diamonds})
Wong: ({4-Clubs}{10-Clubs}) {A-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} ({9-Clubs})

Fu Wong is eliminated in 2nd place collecting $259,910 for a wonderful tournament.
