Lu Chen Eliminated in 11th Place ($7,387)

Level 31 : 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Lu Chen opened for 375,000 on the button and action folded to Taylor Carroll who three-bet to 1,200,000 from the big blind, Chen called.

Carroll checked the {8-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{5-Spades} flop to Chen who fired out 2,000,000. Carroll three-bet jammed and was snapped off by Chen.

Lu Chen: {a-Spades}{q-Spades}
Taylor Carroll: {k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}

Carroll was ahead with his cowboys but still had to dodge plenty of cards with two streets still to go.

The turn fell the {j-Clubs} and Chen needed any ace or spade to win the hand.

Chen would pair his queen with the {q-Diamonds} on the river but that wasn't good enough, and the veteran Carroll took a commanding chip lead and eliminated Chen in 11th place.
