On third street, James Chen was forced to bring in from a short stack, leaving himself just 9,000 chips behind. David Benyamine raised, and Carlos Villamarin made it two full bets. Chen opted to defend his bring-in and risk his tournament life. Benyamine also called.
Action for the side pot saw Benyamine bet fourth and fifth streets, getting called by Villamarin on both. Benyamine then check-called a bet on sixth before check-folding on seventh street to Villamarin.
