Tong Scoops Big Pot

Level 27 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

The players started the action a few minutes early from break, so we barely caught the action of what turned out to be a huge pot on the first hand back. Both players had a few big bets in front of them as the dealer finished out a {9-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{J-Spades} board. We saw Mike Gorodinsky bet out, and Tong shook his head as he put the call in. However, he ended up being good as he tabled {q-Spades}{10-Spades}{8-Spades}{8-Clubs} for eights full, giving a 1.7 million to 1.1 million chip advantage.
