Picking up the action on the river, Jaime Madrigal in the small blind was involved in a hand with Guang Chen in middle position. With the board reading Q♠8♥K♦K♥5♦ Madrigal had a sizable bet in front of him. Chen responded by moving all in for a little over 16,000,000, sending Madrigal deep into the tank. Eventually he committed calling chips but mucked after Chen turned over 8♠8♦ for the full house, leaving Madrigal short while sending Chen to the top of the chip counts.
