Tong Outflips Coleman in Massive Preflop Confrontation

Level 4
Kristopher Tong
Kristopher Tong

No-Limit Hold'em

Danny Tang opened to 5,500 in the hijack and Kristopher Tong flatted on the button. In the big blind, Maxx Coleman squeezed to 30,000 and Tang elected to just call. Tong then jammed all in for 302,000. Coleman rejammed covering the others, sending Tang into a frenzy, and he had just under 200,000 behind.

"I was the one trapping," Tang lamented, "How am I in this spot in my own game?" as he folded AK face-up.

Kristopher Tong: AQ All in
Maxx Coleman: JJ

The two were flipping for massive implications as the Q64 flop vaulted Tong into the lead. Coleman could not find any improvement on the 2Q runout, and Tong made trips to drag a huge one.
