Double For Chen
Level 10
: 600/1,200, 200 ante
Pete Chen is keeping his dreams of another Asia Player of the Year title alive after earning himself a double-up at the expense of an unfortunate tablemate to keep his Day 1A Main Event run going.
Pre-flop there was a middle position open to 2,500 and two calls before Chen moved all-in from the button for roughly 30,000.
The original raiser called and everyone else got out of the way.
“I was bluffing,” said Chen, turning over 
, which was trailing to his opponent’s 
Chen caught a faint glimmer of hope for a chop when the flop fell 
but managed to pull in front when a 
hit the turn to give Chen top pair.
The river saw Chen lock in the double and he climbed to 68,000 after that timely catch.
