Tryba got the rest of his chips in on fourth street and was behind with one pair of Kings against Troy’s two pairs of jacks and threes.

Kevin Tang was on the short stack after Christopher Tryba was eliminated in 8th place, and got it all in on sixth street in this hand shortly after.

Landfish: 9 9 J 7 K 2.

In the previous hand, Bertrand Grospellier was all in on sixth street with with a pair of kings and a diamond flush draw against Chad Brown’s two pair of aces and threes.

Brown: 9 9 4 7 5 A
Troy: 9 9 4 Q 2 3
Incredibly enough, both players had the very same hand on third street with a wired pair of nines and a four in the door.
