Hong on a Serious Heater, Wins Battle of Premium Pockets


A player from mid-position opened the pre-flop betting with 1,000 and Ryan Hong thought that was too small re-raising to 2,375. The MP player three-bet to 10,100 and Hong was a willing customer and called the big raise to bring the flop.

2 10 5

Hong then check-snap-called his opponent’s all-in worth around 25,000! Hong’s opponent showed K K but Hong held the better hand with A A!

No more royalty on the turn 10 and river 3 and Hong wins the big pot to climb to about 170,000! Easily the chip leader today in Day 1B! To note, just a few minutes/hands ago, Hong’s set of threes brought him to the century mark!
