Fu Wong: 10?10?Xx/6?J?8?8?

Three bets each were already in the middle on third street between Per Hildebrand and Fu Wong.

Wong check-called a bet on fourth street, then called another bet from Hildebrand on fifth street

On sixth street with Wong pairing his eight, he now led out and got a call from Hildebrand.

On seventh, after Wong checked, Hildebrand bet again with Wong quickly calling.

Hildebrand showed his two pair of kings and nines, leaving Wong short-stacked and frustrated that his inferior two pair of tens and eights cost him a significant pot.
