David Chen Eliminated in 4th Place ($180,000)
Level 50
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 0 ante
David Chen raised to 32,000 on the button and Aliaksei Boika three-bet to 160,000 from the big blind. Chen responded with a four-bet to 350,000 and Boika just called.
The dealer fanned the flop of K♣K♦Q♣ and Boika check-called a bet of 140,000 from Chen. The turn brought the 3♣ and both players checked to the 6♠ on the river.
Boika used a time bank before shoving all in as the bigger stack, putting Chen to the test for his remaining 1,200,000 chips. Chen gave it some thought and then called it off. Boika flipped over A♣10♣ for the nut flush and Chen was left with just Q♠9♥ for two pair.
Boika has now moved onto the finals, taking place later today, while Chen will pocket $180,000 for a semifinal finish.
