Fung Splits the Pot But Loses a Round

Level 17 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

With just less than 40,000 chips, Jesse Cohen moved all in from early position. It folded around to Anthony Fung in the small blind who quickly made the call and turned his hand, {A-Spades}{K-Spades}, face up. The only problem was that our Day 1 chip leader, Peter Hernandez, hadn't acted yet in the big blind and claimed to have {A-}{Q-}. He folded and Cohen also flipped over a suited Ace-King, {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}. The floor was called over and after the hand, Fung would be forced to sit out one round.

The board ran out {6-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{9-Clubs}{5-Spades} giving Fung a sweat, but still allowed him to at least gain something. The rail was calling for clubs the whole way and Fung turned and joked with them, "You guys aren't very nice. I already got a penalty!" They calmed down and Fung walked away with a smile because he will have 200,000 chips to come back to.
