Aces Hold for Tsang

Cottrell van Wingerden

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

A player opened to 15,000 from early position and action folded around to a player in the small blind who three-bet to 45,000. Chak Lam Tsang then moved all in for his last 84,000 with the original raiser not taking long before re-jamming his stack of 175,000. That sent the small blind deep into the tank as he pondered a call. Another player not involved in the hand called the clock and the small blind allowed the countdown to expire without acting, killing his hand.

Chak Lam Tsang: A?A?
Early Position Player: Q?Q?

Tsang held a commanding lead and managed to hold on the 2?2?2?K?9? runout to score a late double to keep his tournament hopes alive.
