Ka Cheong Wong has been looking for a spot for the last hour or so and when he shoved with he thought this might be it.

Wong was playing in a hand with Sergey Lebedev. There was some action before Wong shoved all in for his remaining 320000 and Lebedev was quick to call.

Lebedev had and was racing with Wong. There was a little bit more than 11th place on the line in this race. Wong is currently #2 in the Asia Player of the Year race. He trails the leader by 20 points and he needed a top 10 finish in this event to take the top spot.

The board didn't seem to care much about it when it gave Wong his pair, but gave Lebedev a set and left Wong with a tough task. The turn, , and the river, , didn't help Wong and he was eliminated. Just shy of the 10th spot and a place at the top of the APOY leaderboard.
