Chen checked the 3♣6♥8♣ flop, and Wakil slid in a stack of red T-100,000 chips to put Chen all in. Chen had 1,620,000 remaining and quickly pushed them across the line to put himself at risk.
Peng Chen: J♣8♥ 
Jamil Wakil: 9♠7♠
Chen was ahead with top pair against the straight draw of Wakil. The 2♣ turn was great for Chen as he picked up a flush draw to cancel out some of Wakil's outs. Chen improved to two pair on the J♦ river, and he doubled up through Wakil.
