Tan Freerolling the Rest of the Tournament
Level 24
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Keng Yong Tan raised to 125,000 in the cutoff before Niklas Bauer three-bet to 350,000 in the big blind. Tan then moved all in for 1,200,000 and Bauer snap-called.
Keng Yong Tan: A♣K♠
Niklas Bauer: A♦A♠
Tan had run right into aces and seemed resigned to his fate as he took out his phone and began filming. The 10♦9♠8♣ flop was no help, and neither was the 7♠ turn.
The river, though, brought the 6♠ to put a straight on the board and they chopped the pot.
"I'm freerolling," Tan said as he pretended to wipe the sweat off his brow.
