With but a handful of chips left bet and Hoyt Corkins raised from the blind for Chan's last 1,000. He called and his {A-Clubs} {K-Hearts} led Corkins' {7-Hearts} {3-Clubs}. The {6-Diamonds} {5-Hearts} {4-Spades} gave Corkins a straight draw but the {Q-Hearts} and {6-Spades} followed and Chan doubled to 23,000.

Shortly therafter Chan doubled again, this time against Aaron Katz. Chan held {A-Clubs} {9-Clubs} to Katz's {A-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds} and when both players paired their kickers on the {Q-Clubs} {9-Spades} {6-Spades} flop Chan check-raised all in and Katz called. Chan caught the {9-Hearts} on the turn to lock up the hand and doubled his stack to 55,000.

"All right then, back to folding," Chan said.
