Wong Stays Safe

Brandon Wong

Brandon Wong raised to 32,000 from the hijack seat, and Jeffrey Carris made the call from the big blind.

The flop brought out {8-Hearts} {7-Spades} {Q-Hearts}. Carris passed, allowing Wong to bet 47,000 before check-raising it up to 300,000. That bet covered Wong, and he called all in for his tournament.

Showdown
Wong: {Q-Diamonds} {J-Spades}
Carris: {A-Hearts} {4-Hearts}

Wong was ahead with his top pair, but he would need to fade a bunch of outs to survive. The turn was the {Q-Clubs}, and the {3-Diamonds} that filled out the board was safe as well. Carris has shipped a big double up over to Wong who sits with 522,000 now.
