Gordon Wong Out in 2nd Place for $45k

Gordon Wong came into Day 2 with the biggest stack, and he held that for most of the day until play got short handed on the final table. He still managed to hold on for second place, worth $45k after a heads-up deal with winner Varan Sidhu.

It was a swingy game heads up, with Wong starting very short, but spinning it up to about 3.5 million, when they made the deal. That deal saw Sidhu guaranteed $47k to $45k for Wong with $7k to play for. In the final hand, Wong raised to 240k, then called it off when Sidhu shoved the big stack. It was a cooler, with Sidhu on a black king-jack against the dominated queen-jack for Wong. They both hit the jack, but the king played and Wong had to settle for second place.
