Chen Puts in a Big Shove on Alexander
Level 18
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
James Chen three-bet to 108,000 in middle position and George Alexander called in early position.
The flop came J♣8♥5♣ and Chen bet 100,000. Alexander called to the K♠ turn, where Chen announced pot to 446,000.
Alexander had around 420,000 remaining and took about a minute before Tyler Phillips called the clock. Alexander shot Phillips a disgusted look. "He just gets all in," Alexander protested.
A tournament official arrived at the table and decided to give Alexander another minute before starting his 30-second countdown. Alexander allowed the timer to run out and his hand was declared dead.
