Mike Tang Eliminated in 2nd Place ($22,334)
Level 24
: 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante
Mark Martin made it 130,000 to go on the button, and Mike Tang reraised to 330,000 in the big blind. Martin called, and the two watch an 
flop hit the felt. Tang cut out a stack as if considering a bet, but decided to just push all in. Martin snap-called.
Martin: 
Tang: 
Tang was ahead with aces, but Martin had plenty of equity with top pair and an open-ended straight draw. The 
turn was a blank, but the 
river gave Martin a winning straight.
Stacks were counted down, and Tang was left with just 50,000. Two hands later, he was all in preflop with 
against the 
of Martin. The board ran out 
, giving Martin trips and the tournament.
