Cheng Dong Wins Event #2 - $300 NLH Big Stack ($17,684)

Cheng Dong (center) - 1st Place - $17,684

It was bitter sweet for Cheng Dong (and his brothers), as Dong has been a regular player for years at Foxwoods.  Today was the final chance to make his mark in a tournament here, as he is moving to China on the 15th. 

In a final chop deal, Marty Salowitz would take $15,000 for 2nd place, and Dong would take the remaining $17,684. Dong had a two-to-one chip lead, and because of that Salowitz agreed to let Dong take the trophy with him when he moves to China next week.

Congrats to Dong, and best of luck in your new life adventure!
