Koren Out Runs Chen
Level 24
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Artur Koren and Kaiwen Chen were entangled in an all-in pot preflop when Koren committed his final 325,000 from the big blind position and was called by Chen in the cutoff.
Artur Koren: K♣9♣
Kaiwen Chen: 3♠3♦
Chen needed his small pair to hold to knock out Koren, but the flop was not in his favor as it came out K♦J♥10♠ to give Koren the lead.
The 9♠ was an interesting turn as it gave Chen some chop outs for a straight, but the 8♥ river put an end to any hopes as Koren secured the double up.
