Solomon Wins Hand He Hates

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

On the last hand before the break, Chris Solomon raised to 2,600 from the cutoff and Brian Wong called in the big blind. The flop was {k-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{3-Hearts} and Wong checked. Solomon contemplated, but eventually checked after exclaiming, "I don't know what to do, I don't have very good luck on these hands right before the break." The turn was the {8-Hearts} and Wong led out for 5,400 and Solomon called.

The {4-Diamonds} fell on the river and this time Wong checked. Solomon cautiously threw out 13,000 and Wong thought for a moment before folding. A relieved Solomon stacked his chips before leaving for the last break of the night.

Wong takes a slight hit, but is sitting with a healthy stack. "I was down to 1,300 at one point," Wong exclaimed. He now has well over average.
