Kong Goes Runner-Runner But Receives No River Value
Level 15
: Blinds 0/0, 30,000 ante
Chen Ming Kong limped the Q?J?, as did Danny Tang with the A?7?. Paul Phua on the button checked the 8?8? and they headed to the A?J?7? flop. Kong bet 150,000 and Tang made the call while Phua folded.
After the 10? turn, Kong bet another 250,000 and Tang stuck around to the K? river. Kong double-checked his cards once more and even used a time bank extension to then bet a significant amount for 700,000 total. Tang didn't fall for it and folded as Kong pulled ahead.
