Level 33 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Chuanshu Chen, in the small blind, moved all-in with a larger stack than David “ODB” Baker, who appeared tempted to call but ultimately folded.

A few hands later, Chen on the button raised to 800,000 and was called by Carmino Argiero in the big blind.

The dealer fanned a flop of 8♣Q♥J♣ and Chen continued for 800,000 more. Argiero check-raised to 1,800,000 and Chen called.

Argiero bet 2,800,000 on the 5♦ turn. Chen went deep into the tank while sipping from his can of Red Bull, and eventually folded Q♣8♦ face up.

"Seriously? Good fold, you are playing great today," Argiero said while scooping the pot. He revealed the Q♦.
