Patrick Chung Takes from Cardenas

Milko van Winden

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Three of the biggest stacks in the tournament are on table 401 and one of them just got a whole lot richer.

The board was on the table and there was about 500,000 in the middle. Miguel Cardenas checked from the cutoff and button Patrick Chung decided it was time to pull the trigger when he announced that he was all-in.

Cardenas tanked for multiple minutes before he got the clock called on him by Chung. A person from the floor staff arrived at the table and the thirty-second clock started running. It took about ten seconds for Cardenas to fold his cards.

Chung took down a significant pot and he is now the chip leader of the tournament.
