Chen's Departure Brings in the Bubble

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Pete Chen came agonizingly close to the money but has become the latest casualty to bring play to hand-for-hand. It was a battle of the blinds that left Chen crippled, with the Taiwanese player moving all-in from the small blind for around 85,000 with Zong-Ping Yang making the call for his tournament life from the big blind with just 2,000 less.

Pete Chen: {k-Hearts}{6-Spades}
Zong-Ping Yang: {j-Clubs}{j-Spades}

It proved to be the right move at the wrong time for Chen, with Yang waking up with pocket jacks, which held on the {8-Spades}{10-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{5-Spades}{8-Clubs} runout to leave Chen with a paltry 2,000 and shoot Yang up to 160,000.

Chen managed to stall for a couple of hands after, but eventually decided to make a stand and tossed in his last two chips three hands later, with Wei En Shih (small blind) and Zong-Ping Yang (big blind) content to check the {k-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{8-Spades}{3-Hearts}{4-Hearts} board down the whole way.

Chen rolled over {a-Spades}{6-Hearts}, Zong-Ping Yang showed {a-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} and Wei En Shih won the hand with the mighty {j-Spades}{3-Clubs} to bring the 37 remaining players to the bubble. The clock is now paused as hand-for-hand play commences.
