Sun Busts Tong with Brunson Special
Doyle Brunson would be proud, but Vincent Tong was not impressed at all at the following hand. But then, he wouldn��t be as it brought his tournament to a close.
We did not get the pre-flop betting but there was close to 5,000 in the pot and the flop was spread with the action heads-up between Tong (under-the-gun plus one) and Ka Ho Sun (big blind).
Tong had bet out 4,200 and Sun had check-raised all-in over the top. Tong thought it over, but not for long, making a quick call for his tournament life and slamming down on the table for bottom set.
This was leading Sun��s speculative but poker is a cruel game and the turn saw the Hong Kong player bink his flush immediately. Tong did not look happy and there was no pair up on the river meaning Tong��s tournament is over, while a chuffed looking Sun raked in the pot to climb to 82,000.
