Snell Snipes Chan
Poker can be a cruel game sometimes, a fact that Leo Chan discovered in a rather sick hand against tablemate Jo Snell.
It was Chan who set the ball rolling with an under-the-gun min open, picking up a caller in middle position, Jo Snell on the button and Jonathan Karamalikis in the big blind to take action four-way to a flop of 
.
Not deterred by all those customers, Chan led the flop for 16,000 with Snell the only caller to bring play heads-up to the 
turn.
Chan loaded up another barrel and fired for 35,000 and Snell reached for raising chips, moving a mixed tower of yellow 5k chips and turquoise 25k chips to effectively put Chan all in and the latter called immediately.
Leo Chan: 
Jo Snell: 
It looked to be a dream spot for Chan, who had hit a great flop and the perfect turn, but this quickly turned into a nightmare on the 
river, which gave Snell a bigger boat and sunk Chan's tournament. Snell stacked up to ~420,000 after that timely catch.
