Wong Takes Twice From Deeb

Danny Wong just claimed a pair of pots from Shaun Deeb that have vaulted him into the realm of chip leader.

Picking action up on the second round of a three-way hand with Wong, Deeb, and Jordan Siegel, Wong and Siegel drew one while Deeb patted.

Betting was then checked to Deeb who bet, and both his opponents called.

The drawing was identical on the final round, but this time it was Wong who led out into his two opponents. Siegel quickly folded, but after some deliberation, Deeb called.

Wong showed and Deeb mucked, claiming he had an eight-six.

Shortly after, Wong and Deeb played a heads-up pot with Deeb taking one on the first draw with Wong drawing two. Wong called a bet from Deeb, then drew one after Deeb patted.

Deeb again bet out, but was met with a raise from Wong. Deeb quickly tossed his cards into the muck, as Wong boosted his stack over 800,000 at the expense of the recent Pot-Limit Omaha High Roller champion.
