Chan Down and Kan Up

[user162117]

Terrence Chan has taken a big hit to leave his tournament hanging by a thread as Raiden Kan has found a very nice double up.

It started with a raise to 1,000 from early position. Chan smooth-called in middle position before Kan moved all in for a total of 10,400 from the cutoff. The original raiser folded but Chan was pretty quick to get his chips in the middle.

Chan: {10-Hearts} {10-Spades}
Kan: {J-Hearts} {J-Spades}

Chan was unlucky to run into the bigger pair and he couldn’t spike a two-outer on the {5-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds} {9-Hearts} {Q-Hearts} {k-Clubs} board. Kan doubles to 24,000 with Chan now in trouble with just 6,000.
