Wong Scores Huge Double Through Maag

We got the table in time to see the players turn their hands over after an all in and a call so we do not know the amounts of the raises. We do know that Danny Wong raised from the button and Nicco Maag three-bet from the small blind.

Wong four-bet and Maag announced a five-bet all in. Wong snap called with {K-Clubs}{K-Spades} and was crushing Maag's {j-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}.

The board fell {10-Spades}{7-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} and Wong never lifted his head from the table for the entire deal. Once the river struck, Maag tapped the table and Wong lifted his head, a gleeful expression on his face. Wong is now among the chip leaders with 7,700,000 in chips while Maag has suffered a huge hit, his stack at 4,530,000.
