Chung's Aces Bust Two at Once

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

As Level 16 ticked down to the dinner break, a dual elimination boosted the stack of an already chipped-up Samkyu Chung. Two players took the plunge all-in preflop, with pocket eights and pocket nines; he called with {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades} with the worst possible outcome for him being a loss of 110,000 from his 550,000+ stack. Instead, it was the best possible outcome: the aces held over a {10-Spades}{3-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{q-Diamonds} board and two more players headed to the rail.

One of those busted in this hand was one of the overnight chip leaders from Day 1, Ravinder Bedi, who collected $1,730, having made it through two small payout jumps already.
