Following the unfortunate hand where he lost pocket queens against eight-seven, Chi-Jen Chen has been left short. He has just pulled some back through after raising all-in over a 6,500 open and a flat, taking it down preflop. This puts him up to 20 big blinds and gives him a little breathing room.

On a 
board Daniil Kiselev checked to Gennady Gevorkyan who bet 17,000. Kiselev check-raised all in and Gevorkyan called for his last 78,000.
Daniil Kiselev: 
Gennady Gevorkyan: 
Kiselev held a straight flush draw along with bottom pair, meaning Gevorkyan would have to dodge a myriad of outs with for top pair.
The turn improved Kiselev to two pair and the 
meant that Gevorkyan was eliminated.
"This chair," said tablemate Tobby Drimer, pointing at the seat Gevorkyan used to occupy. "How many people has it eliminated? Five or six now!"

Sergey Chantsev opened the betting to 5,500 and he was three-bet to 15,000 by Chi-jen Chen on the button. Gurgen Arsenyan was sat in the big blind with onnly 19,000 left and he went all in over the top. Chantsev passed and Chen made up the difference before they turned over their cards.
Gurgen Arsenyan: 
Chi-jen Chen:
Arsenyan was the massive underdog preflop. The 
flop gave him four outs for the straight. The 
turn bricked for Chen but the was just what Arsenyan needed. Chen sighed as the chips were passed away from him and Arsenyan is fortunate to survive to see the next hand.
