Welcome to Wong's Roller Coaster
Danny Wong raised to 280,000 from early position before Michael Rocco three-bet all in with the covering stack. The action folded back to Wong, who made the call for 465,000 in total.
Danny Wong: A♣K♦10♦9♦3♣ 
Michael Rocco: A♦8♦6♠2♦2♣
Rocco flopped a wheel on 3♠5♣4♠, all but securing Wong's exit from the tournament. However, Wong made runner-runner full house on the 9♠9♣ runout to get half the pot and stay alive.
The next hand, Wong raised to 280,000 again, this time being called by Nitesh Rawtani in middle position and Farid Jattin in the big blind. The action checked to Rawtani on the 4♠4♦2♥ flop, and he bet 285,000 chips, exactly Wong's stack.
Jattin quickly folded and Wong followed suit, leaving himself with three and a half big blinds.
One hand later, Calvin Anderson raised to 200,000 under the gun and was called by Jattin in the small blind. Wong also called in the big blind, leaving 5,000 chips back.
The K♥5♥K♣ flop was checked by all players before Jattin bet 400,000 on the 7♦ turn. Wong called all in before Anderson folded, showing Ax2x.
Danny Wong: A♦Q♥J♥7♣3♠
Farid Jattin: A♥10♣8♥5♠4♠
Wong's pair of sevens was the best hand, but up against a multitude of draws. However, when the K♠ river came, his trip kings with ace-queen kicker won him the pot, doubling him up.
