Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 0 ante

The action folded around to Andrian Chin in the small blind and he potted to 24,000. Panayotis Flourentzou announced all in from one seat over and pushed his stack forward. The dealer did his duty and it was 78,000 in total for Chin to call, which Chin paid off eventually.

Flourentzou:
Chin:

The flop saw Chin pick up a few outs, as a nine, eight or five would improve his hand. However, the turn completed a straight for Flourentzou. Now Chin needed a nine or six for a full house, though the dealer burned and turned the as last community card to keep Flourentzou in the tournament.

Andrian Chin	245,000 -105,000	-105,000
