Cristobal Hidalgo Eliminated by Johnny Chan

Cristobal Hidalgo got the rest of his chips in on a flop of {9-Hearts} {8-Hearts} {7-Clubs} vs. Johnny Chan. Hidalgo was looking for an ace, holding {A-?} {K-?} against Chan's {K-Spades} {K-Hearts}. The turn was the {Q-Spades}, the river was the {10-Hearts} and Hidalgo was eliminated. Chan is now up to 43,000.

"Johnny Motherf*ckin' Chan!" exclaimed a fan on the rail as Chan raked in the pot.
