There was an early position limper and Zicheng Chen limped as well. Christina Gollins then raised the button to 6,500 and the big blind in seat nine moved all in. Only Chen called holding the bigger stack.

Seat Nine: {a-Spades}{q-Spades}
Zicheng Chen: {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}

Chen had slowplayed his pocket kings and found himself in a great position.

The {6-Hearts}{4-Spades}{9-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{9-Spades} runout was clean and Chen moved up to about 200,000.

Meanwhile, Christina Gollins was seen leaving the tournament area a few minutes later.
