Wong Back From the Brink

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Jerry Wong registered right at the deadline but ran into aces on two consecutive hands to fall down to 3,000, less than one big blind.

He had rebuilt his stack significantly before he played his most recent pot. With the board showing {j-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{a-Spades}{8-Hearts} and 90,000 in the pot, Wong moved all in for his last 50,000.

His opponent went into the tank for several minutes while Wong just covered his mouth with his shirt and looked up at a baseball game playing on one of the large screens around the Paris Ballroom.

"Two pair no good," his opponent asked Wong before eventually folding.

From that one big blind, Wong is now sitting on a comfortable stack of around 150,000.
