Johnny Chan Eliminated

Johnny Chan
Johnny Chan
A player raises from early position to 1,200, another player calls from middle position, Johnny Chan calls from the cutoff, and the big blind calls.

The flop comes {10-Spades}{6-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}, the big blind checks, the early raiser bets 1,200, the middle position player folds, Chan calls all in for 600, the big blind raises to 3,000, and the early raiser folds.

Chan shows {A-Spades}{K-Spades}, and his opponent shows {K-Hearts}{10-Clubs} for a pair of tens. Chan is dominated, and needs to catch an ace or something runner-runner to survive.

The turn card is the {7-Spades}, and Chan picks up a flush draw to go with his ace.

But the river card is the {10-Diamonds}, giving his opponent trip tens to win the pot, and a story to bore his family and friends with for years, as he busts 10-bracelet winner, two-time WSOP Champion Johnny Chan.
