Andrew Chen Eliminated in 10th Place ($22,400)

Chad Holloway

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Action folded to Chris Hunichen in the small blind and he moved all in to put the pressure on Andrew Chen, who had around 100,000 back in the big blind.

Chen began look at the other table in an apparent attempt to see if any action was brewing. Other players had done similar earlier in the tournament, and it seemed to indicate that they were going to call off, but that they wanted to maximize their chances of laddering up. Eventually a clock was called, and when it became apparent nothing big was going down at Table 2, Chen did in fact call off.

Chen:
Hunichen:

Chen was drawing to two live cards, and while the flop didn't hit him directly, it did give him both straight and flush outs.

"Too many outs," Chen said. Indeed, that proved to be the case as neither the turn nor turn gave him a winner.

With that, the final nine players are now redrawing down to the final table.
