Event 5: Kevin Chan Busts Two

$570 Deep Stack No Limit Hold’em
Level 24: 12,000/24,000/4,000 Ante

A player raised under the gun, the cutoff moved all in, and Kevin Chan called from the small blind. The under-the-gun player moved all in over the top, and Chan called, covering both players. Here are their cards in descending order of chip counts:

Kevin Chan:  10s10c
UTG:  9h9c
Cutoff:  AhAd

The board came 10h9h6s8s6h, and the pocket aces finished in last place as the other two players both flopped sets. Chan won the entire pot with his set of tens to eliminate both of the other players.

Kevin Chan  –  1,475,000  (61 bb)

On the other side of the tournament, Stewart Newman’s pocket kings held up for him to eliminate a player and cross the million-chip mark.

Stewart Newman  –  1,150,000  (47 bb)
