Wong Whittling at Saffari
Stud
There was more significant action in the stud round to report. Picking up a later hand on fourth street, Brandon Wong check-raised a Sebastian Saffari bet. Then Saffari was dealt queens on both fifth and sixth streets, check-calling a bet on fifth then leading with a bet on sixth and getting called.

Saffari bet on seventh again and Wong called, and Saffari tabled to reveal he had two pair, queens and deuces. Alas for Saffari, Wong had the other two queens among his down cards as he turned over , plus the to pair the four on his board. Wong had the better two pair, and had won the pot.
Saffari would get some back on a subsequent stud hand, but would start the next game having fallen down to less than 400,000.
