Chen Misses Pay Jump
Level 22
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Colin Robinson opened up the action from middle position, by making it 60,000 to go. Isaac Kempton liked his hand enough to announce a three-bet to 150,000 from the cutoff before Zhen Chen popped in a four-bet to 315,000, leaving only 235,000 behind.
Robinson mucked, and Kempton placed a huge stack of light green 25,000 denomination chips in front of him, more than enough to put Chen all in and at risk. Chen made the call and the two were flipping for a 1.375 million chip pot.
Zhen Chen: 10♠10♣ 
Isaac Kempton: A♥Q♦
Although slightly behind preflop, Kempton smashed two pair on a Q♣A♠4♦ board, and faded a ten on the 9♠7♥ runout, to send Chen home in 33rd.
