Tough Start for Gannon
Level 3
: Blinds 200/300, 500 ante
Liam Gannon had just registered and was playing one of his first, if not the first, hands of the tournament. A player opened to 800 from early position and was called by Gannon in middle position as well as a player in the cutoff. Christopher Chung then moved all in for 18,200 out of the small blind, getting a quick fold from the original raiser. Gannon, meanwhile, re-jammed his stack while the cutoff got out of the way.
Chung took one and then tabled 8x6x4x2x after Gannon stood pat with 10x8x7x4x2x. Needing to hit a three, five, seven, nine or ten to win, Chung was able to do just that after peeling the 9x to secure a full double and leave an unfortunate Gannon short.
