Wong Doubles Through Yu
Level 11
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 4,500 ante
Daniel Negreanu opened to 11,000 from under the gun and was called by Ben Yu in middle position. Jerry Wong then moved all in for around 60,000 in the cutoff, getting a fold from Negreanu but a call from Yu.
Yu stood pat, prompting Wong to take one after which Yu tabled 9x8x7x3x2x. Wong, meanwhile, held 9x7x4x2x and would need to hit a three, five or six to survive and was able to do just that after peeling the 3x to score an early double.
