Soyza Eliminated by Tang

Level 15 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Michael Soyza
Michael Soyza

Michael Soyza ended up all in for around 65,000 against Tianyuan Tang and needed some help in the showdown.

Michael Soyza: {a-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}
Tianyuan Tang: {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}

The {q-Hearts}{9-Spades}{9-Clubs} flop gave Soyza trips, yet he only had one out to pull a miracle double out of the hat. That was not possible anymore on the {q-Clubs} turn as Tang made quads himself to render the {10-Hearts} river as a formality.
