Jerry Wong made it 17,000 on the button and Ajay Chabra fired 72,000 from the big blind. Wong matched the price and Chabra needed to change one. Wong signalled that he was pat and the betting round was quickly checked.
"I have a king," Chabra said, knowing he wasn't going to take it down.
Wong turned up to make his win official and then raked in the pot.
