Justin Chan Goes Down the Hard Way

Level 16 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Andrea Dato raised from the cutoff to 6,500 before Justin Chan shipped in his stack from the button. It was 39,000 total and Dato decided to call.

Dato: {A-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}
Chan: {A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}

The flop was {K-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{Q-Hearts} which did pair Chan's King but actually gave Dato more outs than he already had. The turn was another {K-Spades} which, while it did give Chan trips, didn't actually effect the number of outs and chances of winning for Dato. And sure enough, the river made him his strait with the {10-Spades}.

Justin Chan was a good sport though. Somewhat in disbelief that the Ten came, he was all smiles and shook Dato's hand. Dato has an even bigger smile though, as he is now up to 185,000.
