Wong's Opponent Needs a Bigger Boat

Deep-stacked poker is what we're playing right now. Each payers started with 300 big blinds in his or her stack. Having stacks that deep tends to make players more cautious than they might otherwise be. Take Steve Wong.

Wong was involved in pot with one opponent who checked the turn, {a-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}. Wong fired 1,675 into the pot and was called. The river paired the board, {8-Hearts}. Wong's opponent led hat card for 3,150 and Wong opted to call. His opponent showed {5-Hearts}{5-Clubs} for a full house; Wong had a bigger full house with {7-Hearts}{7-Clubs}.
