Tchong Can't Boat Up on the River
Level 18
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Catching the action on the flop with the board showing 7♥8♠Q♦, Alex Tchong got all his 110,000 chips into the middle from the small blind against Justin Liberto out of the big blind.
Alex Tchong: A♣Q♣Q♥Q♠4♥ 
Justin Liberto: 7♣6♦5♠4♦3♣
Tchong had top set and the better low draw, against the straight draw of Liberto. The 9♣ on the turn catapulted Liberto into the lead with a straight. There was no board-pairing river to save Tchong, as the K♥ fell and Tchong was out of the tournament.
