Chris Chau - 5th Place

Chris Chau saw what looked like a good spot to try to accumulate chips. Rocking a severely short stack, he moved in for 81,000 after Inwook Choi opened to 30,000 and was called by Adrien Allain from the small blind. Both Choi and Allain called, giving Chau the chance to triple up but also giving him two opponents to overcome. Choi and Allain checked all the way down on a board of {10-Clubs}

{10-Clubs}

{7-Diamonds}

{3-Hearts}

{6-Diamonds}

{3-Clubs}

, with Choi making tens and threes. It was the best hand at showdown, resulting in Chau's elimination from the tournament in 5th place.
