Event 1: Hero Call from Chan

$500 + 60 Deepstack No Limit Hold'em (Re-Entry)

On the river with a board of A J T 5 8, (no flush possible) the player in the cutoff moved all-in for 126,500.

Daniel Chan

Daniel Chan (New York, NY) tanked for a couple of minutes, then made a hero call, showing A7 suited for just a pair of Aces with weak kicker.

His opponent tried to muck, but tournament rules require called all-in hands to be tabled.  The dealer flipped over his cards, showing pocket 9s.

With that pot, Daniel chipped up to ~525k, in contention for the chip lead.
