Chan Departs in 28th Place to Set Up Redraw
Hong Kong’s Justin Chan has just narrowly missed out on the money ladder, departing in 28th place for HK$43,000. All remaining 27 players are now guaranteed at least HK$49,000.
It was chip leader Anson Tsang who was applying the pressure pre-flop with a raise to 35,000 from the cutoff. Chan, sitting on the button, looked down at his hole cards and moved all-in for 103,000 in total and action folded to Weizhou Zha in the big blind.
Zha glanced over at Tsang, who easily had him covered, and decided to flat call. Tsang gave a little chuckle and threw in the extras and the flop fell 
. Both Zha and Tsang checked the whole way with the turn and river running out 
and 
respectively.
Chan turned over 
but could not beat Zha’s 
, Tsang mucked and we lose another. Play has paused for a redraw now we are down to three tables.
