Bill Chen Trying to Chip Back Up On Day 1

After a player in middle position opened for 125, three players made the call, including professional Bill Chen. The flop came {2-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{9-Hearts} and Chen open-shoved for his last 700 chips. This power move by the short stacked Chen forced the other three players to muck and he climbed back to 1,200 with the win.
