Defending Champ Sends Chrisp to the Rail
Level 18
: 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Action folded to Max Chrisp on the cutoff and he raised to 17,000. Kane Lai, who won this very event back in March, then three-bet to 37,000 from the button, both blinds folded, and Chrisp called, leaving himself just 35,000 behind.
When the flop came down 
, Chrisp moved all in and Lai quickly called.
Lai: 
Chrisp: 
Both players had flopped a pair, but Lai's was best. Chrisp needed a third jack to stay alive, but it didn't come as the 
appeared on the turn followed by the 
on the river.
