Hou Coolers Tang
Level 16
: 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Running pocket kings into pocket aces is never a fun experience, though fortunately for Jia Tang his opponent in the hand, Henry Hou, was short so it didn't prove overly expensive.
All the chips went in preflop, with Tang opening with a raise and Hou moving all-in from the blinds for close to 80,000, with Tang looking him up extremely quickly.
Jai Tang: 
Henry Hou: 
Both players hit a set on the flop to add some extra spice, which still kept Hou in the lead, where he remained with the board running out 
.
Hou stacked up to 175,000 after the hand, and was promptly moved to another table, giving Tang no chance to win any of his chips back, and he dropped to 255,000.
