Chen More than Doubles
Level 8
: 300/600, 600 ante
Last year's runner-up Pete Chen was down to only 3,900 but while his situation is far from comfortable, he doesn't have his back pushed against the wall anymore.
Chen found 
in the small blind and moved all-in over a raise to 1,800 from early position and a flat-call in the cutoff. The player who opened the action isolated with a 6,000 four-bet, forcing out the third player.
Chen found himself drawing live as he needed to beat the 
and he did so on the 
board, hitting a queen on the turn and even improving to a flush on the river.
