Stephen Su has won consecutive pots off the chip leader Tommy Chen, and he's closing the gap a bit. Chen is back down around a million chips now, and Su has moved into second place with more than 600,000.
After several raises on third, Andreas Krause ended up all in against his nemesis Tommy Chen. Their boards ran out as follows.
Chen: 
/ 
/ 
Krause: 
/ 
/ (X)
Chen made an eight-low on the end which Krause couldn’t beat since he had a jack-low and was only drawing to a ten-low with his last card to come. Krause got up from his chair to exit the final table area and the dealer flipped up another for his last card which officially eliminated him.

Tommy Chen completed with a , and he was called by Robert Williamson III () and Rep Porter () to go three handed. Williamson would pull a king and drop out of the way on fourth street.
Chen: (X)(X) / / (X)
Porter: (X)(X) / / (X)
Chen led the betting on fourth and fifth streets, and Porter came right along with calls both times. The lead reversed on sixth, and Porter bet it. Chen called, and they both checked through seventh street. Chen had a look of agony on his face.
Porter showed down / , and Chen could not beat it. "I paired," he lamented, slapping his cards into the muck.
Porter is up to about 580,000 with that pot, and Chen doesn't like it. "My worst fear is coming true," he said after the hand. Porter inquired, and he repeated, "My worst fear. You're my worst fear at this table."

We caught up with the action on fourth where Stephen Su bet and Rep Porter called. Tommy Chen raised and Su made it three bets. Porter called again and Chen four-bet it. Su capped the betting and both players called. Only one bet went in on fifth as Chen led out and the other two called. The action picked back up again on sixth where it was checked to Chen who bet. Su raised, Porter called and Chen made it three bets. Chen four-bet it and the other two players called. On seventh, Su led out and Porter got out of the way. Chen raised and Su made it three-bets which Chen just called as the players revealed their cards.
Su showed for a 7-5-3-2-A low but Chen flipped up for a better 7-4-3-2-A low which was good to scoop the massive pot. Chen now has around two-thirds of the chips in play.

Stephen Su just tangled up in another pot with Tommy Chen, but this one went a little bit better. By the time sixth street rolled around, the boards looked like this:
Su: (X)(X) / / (X)
Chen: (X)(X) / / (X)
Chen asked how much his opponent had left before the last card, and Su went ahead and bet all in dark. Chen peeked at his card and quickly called, tabling / for the ninety-seven. Su revealed that he was working with () / , drawing very live with one to come. He squeezed out the dots, then turned over his to make the winning six-low, doubling back close to 400,000.
Su: (X)(X) / / (X)
Chen: (X)(X) / / (X)
We caught up with the action on fifth where several bets went in between Stephen Su and Tommy Chen. Su led out on sixth and Chen just called. On seventh, Su check-called Chen’s bet and Chen said “You got it” as he showed for just a queen low. Su flipped over for ten-low which was good to win the pot.
