Choon Siang Tan Eliminated in 15th Place

Choon Siang Tan - 14th Place
Choon Siang Tan - 14th Place
During the last hand before the break, Choon Siang Tan was eliminated from the tournament by J.J. Liu.

Australian Team PokerStars Pro Grant Levy opened the pot with a raise to 15,500 and seated two seats to Grant's left, Tan moved all in for a total of 108,500. Action then made its way around the table to Liu who asked for a count. Given the total by the dealer, J.J. counted out the required amount of chips to make the call and dropped them into the middle. Levy laid down his hand (which he told us afterwards was two black nines), leaving Tan and Liu in a race for the pot:

Liu: {J-Spades}{J-Diamonds}
Tan: {K-Clubs}{Q-Spades}

The {8-Hearts}{A-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{2-Spades} board was kind to Liu, but not so much for Tan who would end up our 15th place finisher.

Liu stacked up just over 400,000 in chips after the hand.
