MSPT Hall of Famer Kou Vang opened from the hijack with a 900,000 bet, leaving himself with just one big blind, only to have Dan Goonin three-bet jam his 2,900,000 stack next to act from the cutoff.

Action then folded to Gene Boyer, who called from the big blind, prompting Vang to release his hand into the muck.

Goonin was ahead holding a pair of tens, and they held strong, as the runout secured his double-up.

Vang’s plan for a pay jump backfired, as Goonin took the chip lead while Vang was put into the big blind the very next hand, and was eliminated.

Dan Goonin - 8.300,000
Gene Boyer - 700,000
Kou Vang - Eliminated
