Justin Chan Flushes Out Wingkei Chan

A huge hand has just played out that has brought Wingkei Chan’s tournament to a close, with Justin Chan the man to show him the door.

It all started with a Sam Cheong raise from under-the-gun. Pete Chen got out of the way and Wingkei Chan moved all-in for 25,500 in total.

Justin Chan made the call from the big blind and now Cheong had a decision on his hands. Eventually, he decided to fold, showing the table before pitching his cards into the muck.

That was good news for Wingkei, who turned over and seemed happy to know there was an ace gone when Justin turned over .

Unfortunately for Wingkei, the flop was just the one that Justin was after and the turn brought Wingkei’s tournament to a close. That makes Pete Chen the short stack now, though he managed to catch at timely double up with pocket eights shortly afterward at the expense of Sam Cheong to climb to 25,000.
