Dong More Than Doubles
Level 12
: Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Nelson Dong opened to 10,000 in early position, finding calls from Moe Azizan in the cutoff and Martin Stewart on the button. Josh Baraba also came along in the small blind.
Sunia Fonua was next to act in the big blind, and he moved all in for 47,500. Dong responded by shoving his stack of 117,000 into the middle, followed by Azizan who covered them both. Stewart and Baraba both got out of the way and the hands were turned up.
Sunia Fonua: K♠9♦ 
Nelson Dong: Q♥Q♦
Moe Azizan: 7♣7♦
Dong's pocket queens held through the 10♥6♥5♦2♣9♣ runout, more than doubling his stack while eliminating Fonua.
