Chung Eliminated by Lizano

Level 10: 600 / 1,200 ante: 1,200
Peter Chung

A player from early position opened to 2,500 and Peter Chung three-bet to 7,000 from the hijack. Patricio Lizano called from the small blind and the original raiser got out of the way.


The flop came 8 Q 4. Lizano shoved with a covering stack and Chung, who had 22,900 behind, called for his tournament life.
