Jewell Falling Early

Chang's Flush Runs Into Boat
Level 5
: 100/200, 25 ante
The board read 
and we found Matt Chang calling the all in of a shorter stack player.
"You got a boat?" asked Chang as he called when his opponent came over the top. He showed 
for a turned flush.
Indeed, his opponent did have a full house with 
. The completed the board and Chang was forced to ship double up chips over to the player on the right. This is the first major hit we've seen to Chang's stack today. That being said, he's still sitting more than healthy and still toward the top of the chip counts.
