Level 15
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Action has slowed right down in the Main Event and players seem to be having difficulty lifting their chips and putting them in the middle. The bubble is now approaching with just a handful of players left to bust before the money.
Level 15
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Action was on the river on a board of 7♥K♣8♦7♠J♦ and Aqeel Butt led out for 23,000 from the small blind. Lin Chen moved all in from the button for 96,000, which sent Butt into the tank.
Butt eventually called and Chen showed 10♣9♥ for a straight. Butt mucked his hand and Chen doubled up his stack.
