With about 16,000 in the pot and a board reading , Frederic Bussot checked to the ever-so-lovable Bill Chen in the cutoff. Chen fired out a pot-sized bet, leaving himself just 12,500 behind. Bussot thought long and hard, breaking down and restacking his chips, before finally flinging his cards to the muck.
Chen took down the pot without a showdown and was more than happy stacking his newly-won chips.
