Hoang Finally Falls

[user80015]

Level 11 : 700/1,400, 200 ante

John Hoang began the day with 20,900. Unfortunately for the Vietnamese player, he now has no chips.

However it wasn't the standard tournament bust out of aces against kings, or a missed flush draw, but he was blinded and anted out from the start of play.

On one of the final hands of play last night, Hoang found himself involved in a three-way all-in which pitted aces against kings against a smaller pocket pair. The smaller pair spiked a set and sent one player to the rail and Hoang to less than his starting stack.

Not wanting to return to his dismal stack, Hoang just let his chips blind out, and for the remaining players they are thankful that Hoang chose to do this as the tournament is now down another player.
