Chan Still Scrapping

[user75032]

Johnny "Effin'" Chan

Don't count out Johnny Chan yet. He limp-shoved after Xuan Nguyen raised from the cutoff. Nguyen called with pocket tens, but Chan turned over pocket jacks. Both players missed the board entirely, coming as it did {7-Hearts}

{7-Hearts}

{A-Diamonds}

{5-Clubs}

{Q-Spades}

{5-Spades}

. Chan's two pair, jacks and fives, were just slightly better than Nguyen's tens and fives. Since there's no prize for second place, the whole pot was shipped to Chan. He now has 52,000.
