Jerry Wong didn’t get a shred of sleep prior to Day 5 – a mosquito took up residence in his room and bit him all night. Tired though he was however, it didn’t seem to have any effect on the 30-year-old’s performance. Hours later Wong was soaring into the chip lead and takes the advantage into the final table.
Originally from Brooklyn, New York, Wong graduated from Plattsburgh University last year with a degree in finance but considers himself to be a professional poker player, with results stretching back five years. His biggest result to date came in 2008 at the World Poker Finals in Mashantucket. Whatever result Wong records in the PCA 2013 final, it will be a new best.
