Charles Pansoy opened under the gun to 3,200, receiving calls from Giorgios Skarparis in the cutoff and Xin Tang in the big blind. The flop came 7♥ 8♥ T♦ .

Tang checked to Pansoy, who continued with a 6,200 bet, which both Skarparis and Tang called. On the turn 7♦ , Tang checked again, and Pansoy kept up the pressure with a 9,000 bet. This time, only Skarparis called as Tang folded.

The river brought the 4♣ , and Pansoy fired 20,000. Skarparis eventually folded face-up, showing A♦ 9♦ and commenting, "It didn't come out." In response, Pansoy showed one card—the T♠ .

Xin Tang raised to 2,500 from under thee gun and received calls from Kain An Chuang from the hijack, Nevan Chang on the button, and Shardul Parthasarathi from the big blind.

On a flop of 6♥ 4♥ 9♠ , Tang and Parthasarathi checked the action to Chang, who bet 5,000. Only Tang dropped in a call to see the Q♠ fall on the turn, where the action went check-check.

The 8♥ landed on the river, bringing up a bet of 6,000 from Tang and Chuang called to take it to a showdown. Tang tabled one pair with A♦ A♥ , and it was not enough to beat a flush from Chuang’s Q♥ J♥ .

Xin Tang went all in with his last 600 chips from under the gun and received five callers.

On the flop of J♦ 3♥ A♦ , the blinds check-folded after John Perry bet 2,000 from middle position, which only Ben Gur called from the hijack to see the 9♠ show on the turn, where Perry shoved all in for around 15,600 and Gur got out of the way.

Xin Tang: Q♠ 5♥

John Perry: A♠ 3♠

Perry picked up the lead with flopped two pair, leaving Tang hopeless to win. The dealer quickly delivered the 5♣ on the river only to complete the board, showing Tang the way out of the field.
