Kuo Gets There; Sends Wong to the Rail

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Kitty Kuo

A player opened in middle position to 2,500 and another player at the table called. Kitty Kuo called from the small blind before Jerry Wong made it 11,800 from the big blind. Action folded around back to Kuo who took a look at Wong's stack before calling.

The flop was {9-Spades}{7-Hearts}{6-Clubs} and Kuo checked to Wong who bet 13,500. Kuo looked at Wong's stack again, then put forth a stack of orange T5,000 chips, enough to put Wong all in. Wong snap-called.

Kitty Kuo: {9-Clubs}{8-Clubs}
Jerry Wong: {J-Clubs}{J-Spades}

The turn was the {J-Diamonds} which made Wong a massive favorite in the hand with a set, but Kuo got there on the river when the {10-Clubs} came, filling in her straight. Kuo laughed after the hand and stuck her tongue out a couple of times in jest as she raked in the pot. Wong wasn't offended though. He gave Kuo a hug, asked her in the hand was going to be on her twitter, then asked for a photo-op. He headed to the rail while Kuo scooped up another massive pot to put her just under 200,000.
