The first casualty of the Final 8 has arrived with Anson Wong Fuk On sent to the rail by Luen Hei Kwok. Kwok raised 28k from the utg seat and bb Wong defended. When the flop came down A♠ 7♠ Q♥, it was fireworks time with Wong checking, Kwok betting 32k, then Wong with the check-raise all in for 187k. This induced some table talk from Kwok who said he could not fold his hand. He called.
Wong A♣ 7♦
Kwok A♦ Q♦
The turn 8♣ and river 4♦ didn’t improve Wong and after getting a count, both players had exactly the same stack which meant Wong was out in 8th place. He earned HKD 53,500 for his impressive run here at the Main Event.
