Tan and Tang Down
The field is shrinking now rather than growing and has dropped to 180 of the 261 entrants. One of the latest casualties is Jay Tan, who was kind enough to tell us her tale of woe.
It all started with a raise, as these things often do, with Tan making it 1,800 to go from UTG+2 before an opponent in the small blind re-popped to 5,500. Tan pulled the trigger for 42,000 with 
and the small blind made the call with pocket jacks and flopped a set, and that was it for Tan, at least for the Day 1B flight, though registration is still open for the Day 1C turbo.
A player who will be trying his luck in that is Danny Tang, who could not find any traction in the 1B Main Event flight. Tang too was a victim of ace-king syndrome, three-bet shoving all-in with the Big Slick and getting called by an opponent's king-queen. While this would normally be a good thing, the flop came down 
and Tang left the table before the rest of the cards came off the deck.
