Tsai Ends Van Blarcum
Level 25
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Aaron Van Blarcum, seated in the big blind, got his remaining chips into the middle on the turn of a board showing 4♦J♠8♠K♠, with Andy Tsai trying to end his Main Event run from early position.
Aaron Van Blarcum: K♦8♦
Andy Tsai: K♣J♥
The king on the turn was a cruel card for Van Blarcum, improving him to two pair, but giving Tsai the better two pair.
There was no date with an eight on the 9♣ river, and Van Blarcum wished the table good luck before making his way to the payout desk.
