One-Two Knockout to Caris
Two hands. That's how long it took to eliminate Charles Caris. The first hand saw Fenix Hsu open the pot to 20,000 from early position. Tam Truong three-bet to 45,000 on the button and Caris four-bet shoved from the button. Hsu quickly got out of the way and Truong quickly called. At this point, the stacks looked similiar, but hadn't been counted out yet.
Caris: |
Truong: |
The board was terrible for Caris and once the chips were counted out, Truong had 1,000 more than him.
The very next hand, Caris was all in for the 1,000-chip ante only and was eliminated when his couldn't catch up against Wayne Bentley's from the big blind.
