[user25067]

We already have a man down only thirty minutes into this event and unfortunately, it was 1993 Main Event Champion Jim Bechtel.

Bechtel, David Chiu, and Per Ummer saw a flop of {9-Diamonds}

{9-Diamonds}

{2-Spades}

{2-Hearts}

. Bechtel checked, Chiu bet 6,000, Ummer folded and Bechtel called. The {6-Diamonds}

{6-Diamonds}

cameon the turn and Bechtel checked again. Chiu fired out 9,200 only to be met with a shove from Bechtel for his entire 119,000 stack.

Chiu made the call and flipped over {9-Hearts}

{9-Hearts}

{9-Clubs}

for a flopped full house, cracking Bechtel's {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{A-Spades}

. The river was the {3-Spades}

{3-Spades}

and Bechtel's tournament was over while Chiu doubled up to 245,000.
