In a three-way pot on a flop of 5♣8♣J♦, Qinghai Pan moved all in and was called by Marius Gierse.
Qinghai Pan: K♣J♣
Marius Gierse: 5♠5♥
Pan's top pair was crushed by Gierse's set, and things only got worse as the board finished out 4♥5♦ to improve Gierse to quads as the Fisherman was sent to the rail. Further adding insult to injury, he left his backpack at the table and came back a moment later to retrieve it.
