Chen Busts Lask in Huge Preflop Action

Level 20 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Jimmy Chen

From the button, Dylan Lask raised to 42,000. Jimmy Chen three-bet out of the small blind to 150,000. Lask waited a few moments before announcing all in out loud. Chen got a count and confirmed that he had Lask covered by a little bit and called.

Lask turned over {a-Spades}{q-Clubs} and Chen had the lead with the {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}.

The flop was good for Chen as it came {7-Clubs}{k-Spades}{4-Clubs}. The turn gave him the nut flush as the {3-Clubs} peeled off and the river {8-Hearts} ended Lask's tournament abruptly in 25th place and gave Chen what is likely the biggest pot of the tournament thus far.
