With the flop reading AhJhJd and about 50K in the pot, Jerry Wong moved all in for 160,000 from the big blind and his opponent on the button called after a short think.

Wong: Jc8s
Button: 8h5h

Wong was ahead with his flopped trip jacks and needed to fade a heart to double up. The Td turn was harmless and the Kd river sent him the double.

Wong, the former WSOP November Niner, has some experience winning these big opening events. He won Event 1 of the 2017 LHPO series for a cool $250,000.

Jerry Wong – 370,000 (46 bb)
