APT Main Event (55,000 TWD)

Looking for a much-needed double up, Calvin Tan shoved all-in, hoping to either steal the blinds or find a lifeline. Unfortunately for him, Joel Loy, seated on the dealer button, had both the chips and the hand to make the call. Both players tabled their hands:

Calvin Tan: A♥ 9♦

Joel Loy: 7♥ 7♣

Disheartened, Tan watched as the dealer fanned out a flop of 3♠ 5♠ 5♥ , keeping Loy’s pocket sevens firmly ahead. Though Tan held onto a sliver of hope, he slowly began packing his belongings. The turn J and river 3♣ sealed his fate, eliminating him from the tournament — at least for now, with the option to re-enter still open.
