Brandon Wong Eliminated in 6th Place ($39,968)

[user66118]

Under the gun, Andrew Margolis came in with a raise to 55,000, and the action was on Brandon Wong. He wasted little time grabbing his whole stack of 289,000 chips and shoved them forward as the table quickly folded back around.

Margolis cut the calling chips out of his stack and gazed forlornly at Wong. After a minute or two of mental deliberation, he slammed the chips over the line, putting Wong at risk.

Showdown
Margolis: {A-Hearts}

Wong:

Wong was in the best possible shape for a double up, but disaster would come his way. Right in the door, the {J-Hearts}

was visible under the dealer's hand, drawing a huge reaction from ever-increasing rail. The board would run out {7-Clubs}

, locking up the pot for Margolis' two pair.

He slammed his fist down on the felt in celebration, erupting with a big, "YES!" He and Wong shook hands as the departing player wished everyone luck and headed off to the payout desk. Brandon Wong will pocket just about $40,000 for his three days' worth of work.

Margolis, meanwhile, has just inched into the chip lead with 1,550,000.
