Ivan Tan Eliminated in 8th Place ($38,461)

Ivan Tan - 8th Place
Ivan Tan - 8th Place
Charles Chua opened the pot for 12,000 right in front of Ivan Tan, who moved all in for about 50,000. When action folded back to Chua he said, "I don't think I can fold," and called, opening his hand.

Chua: {A-Hearts} {K-Hearts}
Tan: {A-Clubs} {10-Clubs}

The flop gave Tan some optionality. It came down {6-Clubs} {9-Diamonds} {2-Clubs}, giving him club outs in addition to his ten, as well as potential running cards for a straight. He missed the turn when it was the {6-Hearts}, but that put the possibility of a split pot on board with a nine or a deuce. He missed all of his outs when the river fell {5-Spades}. Tan is out, and Chua now moves to about 150,000 in chips.
