PokerNews caught up with Ryan Albert to recap a hand he played against Eric Chang, who ended up busting.
According to Albert, Chang raised to 40,000 in the cutoff and Albert defended in the big blind with KxQx.
The flop came A♥Q♣10♣ and Albert check-called a bet of 25,000 from Chang, bringing the J♠ turn. Albert led out for 55,000 and Chang made the call.
On the Q♥ river, Albert bet 120,000 and Chang moved all in for about 700,000 effective to put himself at risk. Albert found the call and Chang tabled J♣9♣ before exiting the tournament area.
