Tam Hang Gets Kings Cracked

Tam Hang
Tam Hang
All of the chips when in preflop, but the drama happened on the river.

Arkadiy Tsinsis raised to 3,000 from late position and got re-raised to 10,000 by Bowen Fric on the button. Action moved to Tam Hang in the big blind and he came over the top for 32,100.

When Tsinsis folded, Fric made the call.

Hang: {K-Clubs}{K-Hearts}
Fric: {A-Spades}{Q-Hearts}

Hang looked good on a board of {9-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}, but couldn't fade the river, which brought the {A-Hearts}.

After the hand, Tsinsis claimed to have folded an ace of his own before the flop. Fric now has 130,000.

Following Hang off the same table was Zelong Dong, who was eliminated just two hands later.
