Event 1: Ride Ends For Allen Chang

Allen Chang - 7th Place

Allen Chang (Brooklyn, NY) was surviving the short stack ride for a few orbits but it all came to an end when he was forced in with 3-5 diamonds.

Blind brothers Gene Castro and Weiwen Liang check down the board of 9-7-7-K-7. Gene tables 6-6 for a baby boat. Weiwen's J-2 misses. For the first time Allen looks at his cards - then flips over the bad news. Disappointed Allen was left speechless - "What can you say?" said Allen.

7th Place for Allen Chang adds $22,709 to his bankroll.

Chang's demise most likely would have happened several hands earlier if not for Akiva Pearlman accidentally tabling A-Q thinking Chang was all in. Once the flop gave Akiva Broadway, Allen folded, securing just three gray 5,000 chips (not enough for his small blind).
