Event 1 (Day 2): King Kang

Level 20 (Blinds 4,000/8,000/1,000)
Total Entries: 560
Players Remaining: 40
Chip Average: 210,000

Steven Kang
Venkata Emani (Columbia, MD) would shove his remaining 67,000 towards the middle in late position, with Steven Kang flatting behind.  The action would fold behind, and Emani would be at risk:

Emani: A 10♣
Kang: AK

The flop would run out Q♣ 2♠ 5, bring little hope for Venakata.  He would go from three to four outs after the K♠ on the turn, but the board would pair with another king on the river, sending Emani home in 41st place ($635).

With that pot Steven would chip up to 400,000, almost double the chip average.
