Chen Gets the Double
Level 20
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Sergiu Covrig raised from the hijack and Peng Chen jammed the small blind for 105,000. After the big blind folded, Cobrig called.
Peng Chen: 5♠5♥ 
Sergiu Covrig: 7♦3♠
Chen was ahead with pocket fives and just needed to avoid a horrible runout to double up. The board came 10♣Q♥4♠3♦K♠, and Chen's pair of fives won the pot, earning him the much-needed double-up.
