Ryan Van Sanford

We returned to the tournament floor after posting the bubble information and found Ryan Van Sanford seated next to Moe Affaneh. Van Sanford’s stack was significantly shorter than the last time we looked and many appear to belong to Affaneh now, with his 1.2 million.

Van Sanford moved all-in for 196,000 after Kevin Chan opened to 23,000 and the shove was called after a few moments.

Chan: 7d7s
Van Sanford: 6d6c

It was a tough spot for Van Sanford and he couldn’t catch up as the board ran out 9s4s2c2s8c to send the former chip leader out.

Championship players are now on a 60-minute dinner break with 37 remaining. Next stop, the final table.

Kevin Chan – 990,000 (99 bb)
Ryan Van Sanford – Eliminated in 39th place ($3,668)
