With plenty of attention from media and railbirds, Johnny Chan recently took a hit. He opened preflop for 1,500 from the cutoff, only to see Wah Cheong Wong reraise to 5,000. Action folded back to Chan, who counted down his stack a few times while he mulled his decision. He eventually called, leaving him about 13,000 behind.
Both players checked the flop. Chan checked again when the turn came . Wong deliberated about thirty seconds before firing out for 7,000. Chan's cards were in the muck before the last of Wong's chips hit the felt.
