Choong Wins Flip to Stay Alive
Level 19
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Yita Choong shoved 101,000 under the gun and Pat Lyons was next to act as he went in the tank.
"You're lucky I'm a good player," said Lyons before he put his cards into the muck.
The action folded to the hijack as he reraised to 222,000, which forced the rest of the table out of the pot.
Yita Choong: 9♥9♦
Hijack: K♦J♦
It was a classic race and the board ran out Q♥2♦2♣Q♦8♣ for Choong's nines to hold.
