Tian Busts Dranovitsas
Level 26
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Alexandros Dranovitsas had moved all in for his final 675,000 and was called by Mengshi Tian, who had his opponent easily covered.
Alexandros Dranovitsas: Q?Q?
Mengshi Tian: 3?3?
Dranovitsas was in great shape with his pocket queens but hope soon turned to despair as the 3?J?4?7?8? runout gave Tian a set of threes, sending Dranovitsas to the rail.
Tian, the tournament chip leader going into Day 2, had taken a significant hit at the end of yesterday's play to arrive today as one of the smaller stacks, so he has done well to get back to the 50 big blind mark.
