And the Chip Leader is . . .

. . . Steve Wong! Wong called an opponent's all-in bet on a {J-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{Q-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} board holding a mere {Q-Clubs}{8-Clubs} and the call proved to be a good one as his opponent revealed {A-Clubs}{K-Hearts}. The pot hoisted Wong to the top of the leaderboard, as he now has over 50,000 in chips.

It's also worth mentioning that Wong is sitting at a very tough table with fellow pros Chau Giang, David Levi, David Benyamine, Dutch Boyd, Sorel Mizzi and Steve Billirakis.
