Oh Jacks it Up and Busts Spets
The carnage continues in the PokerStars Festival Manila Main Event with a sizable pot playing out in a three-way hand that saw Sweden��s Roger Spets depart and Victor Chong take a big hit at the hands of Junghwan Oh.
Pre-flop it was Min Soon Lim who lit the fuse with an early position raise to 19,000 with Chong making the call from the next seat over before Spets, sitting on the button, moved all-in for his last 49,000.
Oh flat called from the small blind leaving himself 116,000 behind, the big blind folded and the action was back on Lim, who looked torn between calling and folding, eventually choosing the latter. Chong made the call and the action when three-handed to a flop of .
First to act, Oh moved all-in and Chong called immediately.
��Well I��m dead���� muttered Spets as the cards were turned over.
Junghwan Oh:
Victor Chong:
Roger Spets:
Spets was wrong about drawing dead, but the Swedish player was drawing pretty thin with Oh holding the lead with middle set, which was ahead of Chong��s top pair, top kicker.
The turn and river brought no help for Spets or Chong and although the Swede paired his eight it was not enough to keep him alive. Spets headed for rail, Chong dropped down to 110,000 and Oh stacked up to 420,000.
