Wong:

Thomas needed to dodge the over cards and did that on the board, though she thought she was out for a second.

“I thought you had AK,” she laughed as she sat back down.

Michael Laake opened to 900,000 from under the gun and it folded around to Jerry Wong in the small blind. He moved all in to get Nancy Thomas to fold her big blind and Laake thought a minute before calling at risk for his 11,125,000 stack.

Wong:
Laake:

Laake was in danger and nothing on the flop changed that. It looked like he was in line for a huge double after the turn but Wong had a lot of outs with the club draw. Wong came back to win the hand on the river to send Laake out and stack up more than half of the chips in play.

Jerry Wong – 33,900,000 (85 bb)
Michael Laake – Eliminated in 6th place ($34,830)
