Triple Up for Chen; Seat Open for Hong

In a three-way all-in, Hyunil Hong was the covering stack with K♣Q♠ as he took on Heng Seng Lau with the A♠Q♥ and Pete Chen, who tabled the A♦5♠.

The J♠4♦3♦3♥4♠ board avoided the elimination of Chen but he had to chop the main pot with Lau, who left Hong very short.

Hong doubled the next hand before Lau opened to 5,000 thereafter. Chen jammed for 11,000 and Hong did so for 15,000, as Lau looked both up.

Pete Chen: A♥J♣
Hyunil Hong: K♦J♦
Heng Seng Lau: A♠7♠

This time, Chen remained ahead thanks to a 10♣4♥2♣9♥2♥ board as his kicker ensured a triple-up.
