Day 1 Chip Leader Dang Gets Eliminated

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Kenny Dang
Kenny Dang

Dylan Lemery opened to 22,000 in early position and saw action fold to Kelvin Douglas in the small blind, who called. Kenny Dang defended his big blind as well and the flop came {j-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}. Douglas checked to Dang and he shoved for 145,000, with Lemery calling and Douglas folding.

Dang: {9-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}
Lemery: {a-Clubs}{10-Clubs}

Dang's pair of eights was best at the time, but he was in an effective race for his stack with Lemery's flush draw and two overcards. The turn came {2-Clubs}, giving Lemery the nuts, and the river {9-Spades} fell behind to make the hand official, bringing about the end of Day 1 Chip Leader Dang's tournament life.
