Leong Sets Up Tan
Xuan Tan is now in the red for his Montenegrin trip as, despite cashing the Triton SHR 6-Max on Monday 17 July for HK$386,000, the Chinese player has become the second official casualty of the Main Event.
While we missed the hand in question we found out the details from the man who sent Tan to the rail, Malaysia��s Chan Wai Leong.
According to Leong, it was a blind versus blind battle that went poorly for Tan (big blind) who called Leong��s small blind 3,500 pre-flop raise.
Unfortunately for the Chinese player, he flopped two pair holding 
, and while this is usually a good thing, it is less good when your opponent is holding for a set.
All the chips went in on the flop and a dejected Tan headed for the rail while Leong stacked up to 470,000.
