Zhen Chen opened to 12,000 from under the gun and was called by Pranav Bhatt in the cutoff for a heads-up pot.
Both players checked on the 4♣5♦2♥ flop and then Chen check-called a 20,000 bet from Bhatt on the 10♣ turn.
The 6♠ completed the board and Chen checked a final time — prompting a 55,000 bet from Bhatt.
Chen tanked a bit before deciding to call and Bhatt tabled A♠10♦ for top pair, top kicker. Chen sent his hand into the muck and Bhatt was sent the pot.
Meanwhile, Banipal Babana was eliminated.

Action folded around to the blinds, where Zhen Chen raised to 18,000 from the small blind and Lewis Murray called in the big blind.
Murray called an 18,000 bet from Chen on the 10♠8♣5♣ flop and then both players checked down on the 9♣ turn and 8♦ river.
Chen tabled A♦J♥, which was no good against Murray's A♥5♠ for a pair of fives.
