Last Level of the Day; Chen Break Kings
Level 12
: 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
The 47 remaining Day 1A Main Event players are now on the last level of the day and Pete Chen scored yet another timely double right at the start of the level.
Van Sang Nguyen, sitting in the cutoff, made it 5,000 to go and Pete Chen re-raised to 12,500 on the button. The small blind folded, the big blind moved all-in for 16,000, Van Sang Nguyen folded and Chen called.
Chen was holding pocket jacks, which were behind to his opponent’s pocket kings. Chen spiked top set on the 
flop. The 
turn saw the former APOY improve to a full house and the 
river saw Chen climb to 105,000 while his unfortunate opponent headed for the exit.
