Cheng Busts Tang to Bring in Bubble

Absolutely nothing went right for Danny Tang on the final table and the Hong Kong player has become the first casualty. Tang was down to his last 115,000 after losing with kings versus the ace-king suited of Albert Paik earlier and had dropped down to 98,000. This went in from the button with big blind Tony Cheng choosing to roll the dice and make the call for his tournament life.

Danny Tang:
Tony Cheng:

It was Cheng who was covered and at-risk and the flop brought something for both players, with Tang hitting middle pair and Cheng flopping the open ender. The turn kept Tang in the lead, but the river gave Cheng the straight. Cheng double and Tang was left with just 2 big blinds.

This was all-in the next hand after Albert Paik raised, Tang shoved, Yang Wang called, Tony Cheng called and Chung Yuan Yu called. The run out came down and was checked all the way through. Tang showed but could not best Cheng's and the eight remaining players are on the money bubble.
