Level 21

What looked like an innocent enough pot quickly escalated between Brian Yoon and Danny Wong.

Wong limped the small blind, and Yoon checked his option in the big blind.

Each player then drew three, and Wong checked to Yoon, who bet. In came a check-raise from Wong, which Yoon called.

Wong then patted his hand, and while not as apparently strong as his opponent, Yoon still had a one-card draw.

Wong kept up the aggression, firing a bet out dark, which Yoon also called.

Wong patted once more, but Yoon needed to keep drawing one.

They both checked the end and Wong showed for a winner to solidify his chip lead, but as we've seen the last couple of levels, chip leads are becoming less and less safe.
