Dong Chen opened the button to 40,000 and Jarod Ludemann three-bet from the big blind to 110,000. Chen, who had around 450,000 to start the hand, just called.

On the J3J flop, Ludemann continued with a bet of 105,000, which Chen called to see the 4 drop on the turn. Ludemann then bet 300,000, and Chen called off his stack of around 230,000.

Dong Chen: KK All in
Jarod Ludemann: AA

Chen's Cowboys were way behind the bullets of Ludemann and nothing changed when the 8 fell on the river, leaving Chen on the sidelines late on Day 2.
