Chang Takes a Hit

Level 2 : 50/100, 0 ante

It's quite a hike to the outer tables, which are located away from the tournament area by the poker room; nonetheless, we ventured out to see how those half a dozen tables are faring. While there, we saw a pot develop that had 5,500 in the middle and a board reading {3-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{2-Spades}. The big blind had checked to a player in middle position and he had bet 2,000.

Action was on Matthew Chang and he took his time before tossing in a call, which prompted the big blind to get out of the way. The MP player then rolled over {A-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts} for top pair with top kicker. Chang just shook his head and tossed his cards to the muck, dropping to 15,000 in the process.
