Niveau 14 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Xuan Liu had a big stack but found herself busting toward the end of the evening in painful fashion as she held only for Chance Kornuth to be holding .

Liu couldn't hit a queen and was eliminated as Kornuth had her covered, as Liu relayed on Twitter.

Liu had to be unhappy to see Kornuth wake up with it as earlier she folded to Kornuth's four-bet shove only for the the Chip Leader Coaching founder to turn over .
