Chan and Liu Chop Up Opponent’s Chips
Two interesting back-to-back hands have just played out that have seen Michael Chan and Zhouxin Liu chip up, at the expense of an unfortunate opponent.
We are not sure of the identity of the mystery player, but then he is also no longer in the running unless of course, he chooses to re-enter.

found himself up against his opponent’s 
and needed to fade a club and an ace, and duly did so to win a pot close to 50,000.

the very next hand with Zhuoxin Liu making the call with 
and the board ran out 
to award Liu the pot and send his opponent out the door.
