Toronto, Canada's Xiaohu Chen took down the second event on the 2015 Western New York Poker Challenge schedule last weekend, besting a field of 117 entries to book a $15,242 win - the biggest payday of the series so far.

However, his run for the Main Event title has started in the wrong direction.

Chen paid off a 13,375-chip shove on the river of a {a-Clubs}{4-Spades}{5-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{q-Diamonds} board, mucking when his opponent showed {q-Clubs}{10-Clubs} for the flush.

Chen lost close to half his starting stack in the hand.
