Big Double for Chen

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Zhong Chen
Zhong Chen

In a three-bet pot between Zhong Chen and Michail Tastanis, a big pot of more than 150,000 emerged to the {q-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{q-Diamonds} turn and that's when Chen bet and called the shove of Tastanis for his last 161,000.

Zhong Chen: {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}
Michail Tastanis: {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}

The {9-Hearts} river was a blank and Tastanis was sent below the average stack.

Another player on the rise is UK's Kully Sidhu, who is also rapidly approaching half a million in chips as well.

Lovgren Sends Cortes to the Rail

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Sofia Lovgren
Sofia Lovgren

Sofia Lovgren started Day 2 as one of the shorter stacks on just 18 big blinds and has taken apart the feature table thus far, even taking over the role of the chip lead. The action has now caught up to her clash with Jesus Cortes in the previous level, and Lovgren was in no mood of raise-folding twice in a row against the Spaniard.

First Cortes got through with it holding ace-queen, but then he three-bet jammed for 101,000 with {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds} in the hijack and Lovgren this time called with {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}. The board came {8-Spades}{7-Spades}{2-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} and Cortes was eliminated.
