Action picked up on the turn with WSOP bracelet winner James Chen and Kenny Hallaert involved in a hand with the board showing 3♦6♥Q♠2♠.
Hallaert, who was out of position in the hand, bet 55,000. Chen called after a few moments to push the pot to more than 200,000.
The dealer placed 9♥ on the river, which drew quick checks from both players.
Hallaert tabled A♠10♣ for ace-high, while Chen tabled K♥Q♦ for a pair of queens and the winning hand.
