He'll Take Your Chips, And A Picture With You!

Level 3 : 50/100, 0 ante

With the board already reading {10-Clubs}{9-Spades}{8-Clubs} a player pushed all in for his last 1,600 chips and Chau Giang called. The all-in player held the {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs} for an overpair and an open-ended straight draw, but was behind to Giang's {8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} for a flopped set. The turn and river brought the {10-Diamonds} and {a-Clubs} which were of no help to the all-in player and he was eliminated although didn't seem terribly upset about it.

"I said if I was going to get busted, I wanted it to be by this guy," he said as he put his arm aroung Giang. He asked Giang if he could take a picture with him and Giang agreed.

Giang now has around 7,000 in his stack.
