Wong Lets His Ladies Go

Thor Hansen kicked it off with a raise to 5,500 from late position. On the button, Jerry Wong reraised to 15,500. The small blind ducked out, but the big blind made a third raise, sliding out 40,000 chips. Hansen quickly folded, but Wong would take his time. After a long session in the tank, he pulled his cards off the table and stared at them, flipping them back and forth in his hands before mucking. Since the player next to him could see the cards, the table asked for a show, and Wong's {Q-Diamonds} {Q-Clubs} was flipped up. His opponent in the big blind flashed {Q-Hearts} {Q-Spades} and made a comment that he would have had an impossible decision to make had Wong shoved over the top.

Either way, the pot goes to the big blind, and Wong has taken one little step back to 513,000.
