He then picked up his cards and held them face-down as if ready to muck. Once the dealer determined that Kanter had called all in for a total of 9,100, En opened for a set of eights. Kanter immediately dropped his cards face-down on the table, gathered his belongings and exited the tournament area.En is up to 42,000.
