Wong Back up to the Lead
Level 7
: 400/800, 100 ante
The table folded around to Nicky Wong on the button, who opened to 1,750. Matt Carter was next to act, and raised to 3,500, before the big blind moved all-in for his last 16,375. Wong made the call, and Carter folded, as both players tabled their cards.

Wong’s pocket eights were able to hold to send him back up to the top of the leader board. He’ll have some close competition though, with Carter sitting to his immediate left, also sitting behind the same chip-stack.
