She Lok Wong Nervous and Excited

[user272102]

Level 13 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

At the beginning of the day, we talked about She Lok Wong, a player who is as much a fan of the players he is playing against as anyone in the room. We also mentioned that looks could be deceiving as Wong is an excellent player, and he's proven that much by moving to the top of the chip counts by the time dinner break arrived.

Imagine Wong's surprise when he came back from dinner and found none other than Phil Hellmuth being moved to his table. Wong raced over to the PokerNews Live Reporting team, a glazed look on his face as he told us of this. The excitement and nervousness on his face was obvious.

We walked over to Wong's table. It's not an easy one. In addition to Hellmuth there is Justin Young, Amit Makhija, Christina Lindley, Byron Kaverman, and Kevin Choe. "He's a professional. He's a professional," Wong said to us, nodding at the players at the table. "This is very exciting. My heart is beating so fast."

Wong stood, unable to remain still, as a hand went down where Justin Young five-bet shoved with . He'll have to calm down if he's going to contend with these sharks, but he's already been proving that he could do that for over 12 levels. It could be Wong teaching the pros a thing or two before all is said and done.
