Chen Sets the Trap with Aces

Level 14 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

A player in middle position raised all in for 6,500 before Arash Elbaum three-bet to 15,000. Charlie Chen on the button called, when Daniel Isak four-bet to 30,000. Elbaum called the raise, when Chen five-bet all in for 131,000. Isak and Elbaum both folded, leaving Chen heads up with the all-in player.

Middle Position: 103 All in
Charlie Chen: AA

Chen was poised for a knockout with his pocket aces, and after the board ran out K4Q74 the aces were still best, and Chen took in the pot while eliminating his opponent.
