Level 8
: 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
We missed the elimination of Poker Hall of Famer Johnny Chan as it happened, but we learned some details after the fact.
According to Sergio Aido, who did the deed, he raised to 2,500 from the button and then called when Chan three-bet to 7,500 from the small blind.
On the 
two-diamond flop, Chan continued for 10,000 and Aido called to see the 
turn.
Chan moved all in for his last 15,000 or so and Aido called.
Johnny Chan: 
Sergio Aido: 
Aido was out in front with two pair while Chan had both straight and flush draws. Unfortunately for the two-time WSOP Main Event champ, the river was a brick and he was eliminated from the tournament.
