Tan Crippled

[user75032]

Ivan Tan picked a bad time to get bad-beated. We're approaching the money bubble now and Tan is in desperate straits with just 20,000 chips after losing a huge pot worth 160,000. His opponent jammed into him from the small blind with {K-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

{6-Hearts}

and Tan snap-called with pocket kings. All was OK for Tan on of {5-Clubs}

{5-Clubs}

{A-Spades}

{4-Clubs}

, but the turn and river were disaster: {8-Diamonds}

{8-Diamonds}

{7-Diamonds}

to give his opponent a runner-runner eight-high straight.
