Alexander Pushes Out Chen
Level 19
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 30,000 ante
Daniel Negreanu raised to 60,000 in the small blind and Darren Elias three-bet to 200,000 in the big blind. Negreanu called and took one, while Elias stood pat.
Negreanu spent a minute fiddling with his chips before checking, and Elias checked back. "Jack-eight," Negreanu said, and Elias mucked.
The next hand, George Alexander raised to 50,000 in the cutoff and was called by Elias and James Chen in the blinds.
Elias and Alexander drew two, while Chen took one. Chen then bet 130,000 and Alexander came back with a raise to 625,000. Elias quickly folded, while Chen tanked for a minute before also mucking.
