Chen Scores a Knockout
Level 13
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
James Chen had already been the chip leader and then knocked out a late entrant, who was at risk with the A♥A♦8♣2♦.
Chen held the Q♦10♥9♦7♥, which casually flopped the nut straight on 8♦6♣5♥ when the chips went in. The K♦ turn was a sweat but the K♣ river came a blank, as Chen added even more chips.
