Chen Falls In The Final Level
Huilin Chen was down to his last 28,000 and open-shoved from the cutoff. Ken Stacy was on the button and called after asking for the amount and receiving confirmation, prompting two quick folds behind to bring about the runout.
Huilin Chen:
Ken Stacy:
Chen quickly rolled over his bullets and Stacy acknowledged, saying that Chen was ahead but that he had "the aces cracker."
The flop certainly gave him a shot, one that would become even more real on the turn after he picked up two pair. Chen was unable to find an ace or counterfeit paired board to reimprove on the river and was eliminated from the tournament, standing up and making his way from the tournament area as the pot was shipped to Stacy.
Twenty-seven players now remain with 25 minutes remaining in the level. The tournament clock will be paused in 15 minutes or two eliminations, whichever comes first.
