Johnny Chan Eliminated in 4th Place ($246,874)

Johnny Chan - 4th Place
Johnny Chan - 4th Place
Johnny Chan raised to 120,000, David Benyamine called from the small blind and Phil Galfond called from the big blind. The flop was {J-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds} {3-Clubs}. Benyamine bet 55,000, Galfond called, and Chan called all in. The turn was the {8-Hearts} and both Benyamine and Galfond checked. The river was the {A-Hearts}. Check-check again.

Benyamine turned up {A-?} {K-?} {9-?} {8-?} for two pair, aces and eights, Chan tabled {10-?} {9-?} {9-?} {8-?} for a lower two pair, and Galfond mucked. Benyamine won the pot and Chan was eliminated in fourth place, earning $246,874. He'll have to wait for another day to go after that 11th bracelet.

Nice House You Got There

Phil Galfond completed from the small blind, and Adam Hourani checked in the big blind. The flop came {K-Spades}{6-Spades}{10-Diamonds}. Galfond checked, Hourani bet 55,000, and Galfond made the call. The turn was the {A-Spades}, and both checked.

The river was the {K-Clubs}. Hourani checked, Galfond bet 55,000, and Hourani called. Hourani turned over K-T-x-x for kings full of tens -- not the best possible full house, but a darn nice one -- and Galfond mucked.

OMG I Won the Pot

Adam Hourani raised to 110,000, and Phil Galfond called from the big blind. The flop was {K-Hearts} {6-Spades} {2-Spades} and both players checked. The turn was the {Q-Clubs}. Galfond bet 185,000 and Hourani called. The river was the {8-Diamonds}. Galfond carefully slid out a large stack of green 25,000 chips for a 525,000 bet, Hourani folded and Galfond won the pot.

Where's Johnny

Chan is late returning from the break, and the first hand has been dealt without him sitting in his seat. The remaining players, with cards before them, are all waiting to act.
