Chen Dodges Aces but Clemente Runs Into Them Full Force
Level 30
: Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante
Ian Simpson raised from under the gun to 320,000, Andrew Ahn three-bet to 950,000 from the cutoff, Daniel Clemente five-bet all in from the button for 1,402,000, and Nan Chen took some time before eventually folding. Simpson also folded.
Daniel Clemente: A♠K♣ 
Andrew Ahn: A♦A♣
The board ran out with 8♥A♥Q♦7♥10♠, and a set of aces was enough to eliminate Clemente and give Ahn a chip boost. Chen informed the table that it might have been a sick hand if he had called, as he held two queens and would have flopped the lower set. The table was in awe that he folded.
