As the field continues to get smaller and grow closer to the money, many are short and waiting for just the right hand to move all in. With about double the average and the chip lead at her table, Tiffany Wong has remained active and continues to put the pressure on her opponents. She recently opened from the hijack to 20k pre flop and the cutoff, short stack Travis Hartshorn, moved all in for 8k more. Wong calls.

Wong: J♠6♠

Hartshorn: A♦J ♥

Drawing thin to a flush or 6, though she does turn a flush draw, the river is a blank to give Harshorn the double up. She recovers quickly taking down the blinds a couple hands later. Wong has close to a quarter million in live tournament earnings. Her biggest cash was at the Orleans this summer where she took 2nd place for $160,000. She will certainly be one to look out for this tournament.
