Samuel Fuller Eliminated in 13th Place ($15,317)
Level 25
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Long Tran open-raised from the cutoff and Samuel Fuller, who was on a short stack of just 300,000, moved all in. Tran called.
Samuel Fuller: A?A?10?9?
Long Tran: K?K?Q?J?
The flop 8?8?8? was all but a lock for the aces and even induced a sigh from Tran.
The turn was the 3?.
For maximal dramatic effect, the poker gods waited until the river to have the K? roll off. According to the table, the K? was folded, so this was the last out that Tran had to beat Fuller out of the pot and end his tournament. Fuller took the beat better than most observers, wished the table good luck and calmly headed to the rail.
