Johnny Chan - 23rd Place

We caught the action on the river on a board reading {2-Clubs}

{2-Clubs}

{5-Spades}

{10-Diamonds}

{4-Hearts}

{4-Clubs}

where the great Johnny Chan had fired 30,000 into the middle before Inwook Choi declared himself all in.

Chan was in the tank for a very long time, and eventually found a call. However Choi tabled pocket deuces for a full house which were too good for Chan as he tossed his cards into the muck and departed the poker room much to the disappointment of the local contingent.

Meanwhile Choi has stormed out to a tournament-leading 460,000.
