Magsakay Kicks Gong
Level 22
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Vamerdino Magsakay raised from the button to 60,000, and Ke Gong called from the big blind. The flop was 7♥9♦8♦, and Gong led out for 35,000. Magsakay called, and the turn was dealt.
On the turn 2♥, Gong led again for 170,000, and Magsakay had had enough of that and moved all in for 530,000 effective. Gong called for his tournament life.
Ke Gong: 9♥3♥
Vamerdino Magsakay: Q♣9♣
Magsakay was in the lead heading to the river and needed to fade a flush or a three, and that he did with the river of 7♠. Two pair would earn Magsakay the knockout.
