Chan Busts Before Break

Johnny Chan was spotted in the field just before the break, but upon returning from dinner he'd been replaced by someone else.

The dealer at the table was kind enough to let us know that he had one-outed Chan on the river.

Chan had flopped bottom set against the nut flush and when the board paired, the entire table thought the river would be a formality. When the river came, however, it upgraded the players flush to a straight flush and the table realized what happened when the dealer presented the winning hand.

Chan is expected to have been one of the last players in the late registration line but it has yet to be confirmed if he's back in the field.
