Chen Stays Alive

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 0 ante

Jinglin Chen moved all in for 20,000 from early position, Vincent Firsching called on the button, and the hands were tabled.

Chen: {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{6-Spades}
Firsching: {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{3-Diamonds}

The two chopped the pot on a board of {5-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{5-Spades}, keeping Chen alive. Firsching is still the chip leader after doubling up through Amnon Filippi.

Zaken Will Decide

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 0 ante

C.J. Mucciaccio raised to 22,000 in middle position, Barak Zaken defended his big blind - leaving 51,000 behind - and the flop came {5-Hearts}{2-Spades}{q-Clubs}. Zaken checked, Mucciaccio moved all in, and Zaken folded {a-Spades}{3-Clubs} face up.

"Get it in," Leonard Palermo told him.

"I'll get it in when I want to!" Zaken said back, grinning.

Limpin' Ain't Easy

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 0 ante

Barak Zaken limped in from under the gun, Amnon Filippi called on the button, and Vincent Firsching and Leonardo Palermo came along from the blinds. The quartet checked on a flop of {9-Spades}{10-Spades}{k-Spades}, and the turn was a repeat nine - the {9-Diamonds}.

Both players in the blinds checked, Zaken fired a minimum bet of 8,000, and only Filippi called.

Both players checked when the river brought a third nine - the {9-Hearts} - and Zaken took the pot with {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}{8-Spades}{2-Clubs} for a spade flush.
