"Sorry, John"

Johnny Chan

Two-time WSOP Main Event champ and living poker legend Johnny Chan has just been eliminated from the tournament by amateur James "Drew" Marks.

The hand was relayed to us by friend of PokerNews, Mr. Tom Sexton. According to Sexton, Chan held {A-Clubs} {10-Clubs} and was up against Marks' pocket threes.

The {Q-Clubs} {3-?} {2-Clubs} flop sparked the action, and Marks put Chan all in for his last 5,000. Chan made the call, and spiked his club flush on the turn when the {6-Clubs} peeled off, but Marks filled up when the river delivered the {6-Spades}.

Now that Chan's gone, we're left with two WSOP Main Event winners; Jerry Yang and Chris 'Jesus' Ferguson.
