Dong Goes Runner-Runner to Take the Chip Lead

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

A player at Zelong Dong's table pointed out his now-massive stack, and shared the details of how he managed to accumulate such a stack in a hurry.

Three players invested 9,000 each preflop to see a {k-}{6-}{5-} flop fall. A player in middle position ripped his last 40,000 in the middle, Dong called, and the other opponent in the hand folded.

Opponent: {6-}{6-}
Zelong Dong: {8-}{8-}

Dong was behind the set of sixes of his opponent, but Dong picked up an open-ender on the {7-} turn. Sure enough, the {4-} on the river made Dong a straight and eliminated his opponent.

"That's why we play the game," tablemate Matt Dalka said, while Dong just smiled upon hearing the recollection his lucky KO.
