Huang Busts Chan
Justin Chan��s first attempt at building a big stack has not worked out for him and we arrived in time to see the Hong Kong player vacating his seat. Mr. Chan was kind enough to tell us the tale of his demise, and what a tale of woe it was.
Surprisingly it was not Zhao Yanchao who busted Chan, though the Chinese player was involved in the proceedings. According to Chan it was China��s Kun Huang who lit the fuse with an early position raise to 1,100 and Chan made the call with pocket queens from the hi-jack.
Zhao got frisky from the button and re-raised to 3,300 and Huang moved all-in for 15,750. Chan had him covered, but only by around 300 chips and made the call and Zhao flashed both players the before throwing his hand into the muck.
It was a classic race, Chan��s pocket queens up against Huang��s ace-king, but unfortunately for Chan it was one he fell behind in immediately with a king in the window. Chan is out and Huang has 33,500 to play with.
