The new round has just begun and Victor Chong quickly booted out two players. The first take down was one of our past APT Main Event champions, Albert Paik. Alecz Chan raised to 15k, Paik three-bet to 44k, Chong four-bet to 106k, and Chan folded. Action back to Paik, he moved all in and Chong called.
Chong A♣ K♣
Paik J♥ J♦
The board ran 5♦ 8♦ K♠ 7♠ 10♣ and with Chong spiking the higher pair, he shipped it to reach 700k.
But he wasn’t done yet.
A few of hands after, Chan Chi Kit was sent packing. The preflop war led to a showdown with Chan A♥ K♥ and Chong A♠ A♦. The board offered no gems for Chan and just like that, another bites the dust.
By our gauge, Chong is up to 850k.
