C.K. Hua Eliminated

I think not wearing his signature black Gucci man-purse slung across his body today may have scrambled C.K. Hua's brain.

The UTG player opened for 200, Hua raised to 550, the big blind moved all in for 1,800, UTG folded and Hua called, turning up {J-Clubs} {7-Clubs} to the big blind's {K-Diamonds} {K-Hearts}. Hua couldn't improve and he was knocked down to 3,100 in chips.

On a subsequent hand, Hua made it 700 to go and the big blind shoved to 3,450. Hua called, and found his {A-Clubs} {5-Diamonds} up against the big blind's {10-Hearts} {10-Diamonds} . The big blind flopped top set and raked in all but 200 of Hua's chips. Those last 200 went in a short time later and Hua's {A-?} {7-?} could not improve against Marc Nasser's {A-?} {Q-?}, eliminating him from the tournament.

I'd be looking for that purse about now if I were him.
