Huang Can't Keep Hanging On
Level 8
: 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
Shan Huang seems to be the one player enjoying this tournament the most. If you were to be in the tournament room right now, you would be able to hear him chatting away with his tablemates, playing a hand here and there, and lots of smiles and laughter coming from him. Even though he seemingly was having fun, his chip stack was slowly dwindling down.
In fact, Huang shoved all in for 62,500 from the cutoff. Ye Wang was sitting on his left and looked how much it was in total. Wang called.
"Uh oh!" Mikita Badziakouski commented while folding his small blind.
Takashi Ogura quietly folded his big blind.
Shan Huang: 
Ye Wang: 
The board ran out 
for Wang's higher kicker to come into play to send Huang back to the cashier to reenter.
