Feming Chan entered today with hopes of making yet another WSOP Circuit final table here in Atlantic City.
Back during the 2006-07 season Chan finished fourth in this same event at Harrah's, cashing for $80,521. In 2007-08 he made it back to the WSOP-C Main Event final table at Harrah's AC once more where he finished third. And adding to those deep runs was a seventh-place finish in the WSOP-C Caesars Atlantic City Main Event in 2009-10.
Alas for Chan, his run here today is ending just shy of this event's final table, as he has just been eliminated in 11th.
In Chan's bustout hand, Aaron Overton raised to 51,000 from UTG, Chan pushed all in for 340,000 from the cutoff seat, and Overton called. Chan had 
, but had run into Overton's 
. The board came 
, thereby ending another impressive Atlantic City performance for Chan.

Barry Leventhal is operating cautiously here at the ten-handed final table. Just now he opened with a raise to 72,000 from the hijack seat, and when Sung Kim reraised to 200,000 from the small blind Leventhal quickly had doubts about proceeding further.
"I promised myself I'd never bust with this hand," he told the table, and showed his 
before folding and preserving a stack of about 440,000.
Leventhal's promise-keeping appears to have paid off in the near term, anyway, as he'd soon win a couple of small pots to push back up to 560,000.
