Berner Low After Paying Off Vang

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

It's a site the rest of the players in the tournament don't want to see: Kou Vang with chips. The tour-sponsored pro just bet 21,000 when Weston Berner checked to him on a board of {8-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}, and Berner made the call. Vang revealed {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs} for the nut flush.

Eric Crain took an early beat.
Eric Crain took an early beat.

We found Eric Crain all in preflop with {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs} against the {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds} of Steve Galey.

"Nice hand," someone said.

"Not yet," Crain said with a laugh. "I screwed this hand with that hand a bunch of times the other day."

The dealer revealed a door card of {q-Clubs}, followed by the {7-Hearts}{5-Clubs}.

"That's a bad card," Crain said.

Two more bad cards followed: {9-Spades} and {4-Clubs}.

"Good luck, everybody," Crain said.

Vang Bounces Tsui Early

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Action folded to Gary Tsui, who moved all in from the cutoff for about 37,000. Neng Vang shoved over that in the small blind, and the big blind folded.

Vang: {7-Diamonds}{7-Spades}
Tsui: {6-Hearts}{6-Spades}

"One time," Tsui said. "I'd like to use my one time."

Instead, the door card was a {7-Clubs} followed by the {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}. An {a-Diamonds} turn ended things for Tsui.
