Chong Secures Massive Double into Chip Lead

Level 34 : 100,000/200,000, 30,000 ante

Jimmy Chen opened to 350,000 and got calls from James Carroll, Chris Chong and Harald Sammer.

Sammer checked the {9-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} flop to Chen who continued for 800,000. Carroll raised to 1,900,000 and Chong three-bet all in for 5,645,000.

Sammer and Chen folded and Carroll asked for a count before calling.

James Carroll: {q-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}
Chris Chong: {a-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}

Carroll could have chipped up to more than 25 percent of the chips in play with still 16 players remaining, but was behind to the better flush draw of Chong. The {5-Hearts} turn and {k-Hearts} river bricked out, and Chong secured a huge double into the chip lead.
