Damelian Puts a Dent in Chen's Monster Stack
Level 19
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Jiaxu Chen has had quite a day so far, with both a pile of chips and bounty cards due to a willingness to gamble in the early going of Day 2.
In a recent hand, Chen opened to 40,000 from early position and called a shove of 355,000 from Robert Damelian. who was on the button.
Robert Damelian: A♠K♦
Jiaxu Chen: 10♦6♠
It was a loose call from Chen, who was happy to hunt for another elimination and subsequent bounty card.
However, the A♦J♥2♥4♥4♣ runout left Damelian best with aces-up to secure himself a double up.
"That's no fun," Chen said, who still sits with a monstrous stack of about 2,700,000.
