Pan Doubles Through Ghionoiu in Bizarre Hand

Christopher Pan opened the button to 40,000 before Daniel Ghionoiu jammed from the big blind for 280,000 effective as the barely covering stack. Pan went deep into the tank as he was pained by the decision, but eventually called.

Christopher Pan: A♥K♥ All in
Daniel Ghionoiu: 9♠4♠

Pan was ahead with ace-king but Ghionoiu had live cards. Both players paired on the K♣9♣7♠ flop and the Q♠ turn gave Ghionoiu additional outs. However, the 10♥ completed the board as Pan got the full double.

Ghionoiu left the tournament but was informed that he had 7,000 chips remaining. He declined to return to the tournament and is surrendering his stack just five spots from the money.
