David Quang has been sent to the rail after his attempts to rebuild his stack failed. In the hand previous to his exit hand, Quang open-shoved for 170,000 and Marc-Etienne McLaughlin looked like he almost called, but didn't.
When Quang moved all-in for a second time, McLaughlin did call with and found he was against Quang' . Neither player improved on the 
board and Quang headed for the exits.

Quang opened to 40,000 from under the gun and then quickly called when McLaughlin three-bet all-in for 253,000 from the next seat across. McLaughlin's was behind to the of Quang, but the five community cards fell 
to change that face and boost McLaughlin's stack.
