Chen Doubles; James Twice More

Level 17 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Yake Wu raised to 115,000 and called the shove of Dong Chen for 255,000 in total.

Dong Chen: {3-Spades}{3-Hearts}
Yake Wu: {a-Spades}{5-Clubs}

The board came {9-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{8-Spades} and Chen doubled.

Chen then three-bet jammed for 585,000 out of the big blind when facing a cutoff raise to 110,000 by Wai Wa Chan, which went through.

Next to raise was Hideki Izutsu, who made it 125,000 to go. Wu three-bet to 280,000 and Chen moved all in once more. Izutsu quickly folded and Wu asked how much more it was on top. The 280,000 were pulled in and it was another 480,000 on top of that, which proved to be too much for Wu.

Shaykov Chips Up Significantly

Level 16 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Irshat Shaykhov had already won quite a few chips since returning from the break and has since scooped another two pots without showdown. First, he raised to 100,000 and was called by Hideki Izutsu in the small blind and Wai Wa Chan in the big blind. On a flop of {a-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{3-Clubs}, the action checked to Shaykhov and his bet of 250,000 did the trick.

Two hands later, Chan opened to 100,000 on the button and Shaykhov three-bet to 350,000 in the big blind in order to force a fold once more.
