Chen Wins Urgently Needed Pot
Level 16
: Limits 12,000/24,000, 0 ante
On the impending bubble, James Chen (Taiwan) picked up a pot in four-way action while fellow namesake and US citizen James Chen leaped into the lead. The same table also featured a full scoop for James Obst with A♣A♥8♥4♠ on the A♠7♣2♥10♥Q♥ board with the nut flush and eight-low against Jason Daly.
Chen then bet the four-way flop of 8♦4♥4♠ flop while on the button with Chen in the small blind check-calling, Ben Lamb check-folded in the big blind and Daly stuck around as well. The three-way turn of 3♣ was checked to the button and his bet then earned two folds.
