Tan Takes a Huge Pot from Patry

[user38449]

Moments ago, Zhong Tan took a huge chunk out of chip leader Guillaume Patry's stack. Here's how it happened:

Patry made it 17,000 to go from the button and Tan re-raised from the small blind, making it a total of 57,000 to call; Patry did.

The flop came {7-Hearts}

{7-Hearts}

{5-Spades}

{2-Spades}

and Tan open-shoved for just under 190,000 in chips. Patry made the call and turned over the {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{4-Spades}

, revealing a gutshot straight flush draw; Tan tabled {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{J-Spades}

for ace-high.

Amazingly, the turn and river blanked out and Tan won the biggest pot of the tournament (approx. 450,000) thus far with A-J high.

The hand left Patry with just under 500,000 in chips.
