One for Chen and Hildebrand
Level 13
: 2,000/4,000, 1,000 ante
Hertzel Zalewski had been thriving earlier today, but has since dropped back to the bottom half of the stacks.
On his table, James Chen and Per Hildebrand got into a battle of the blinds and Chen bet 23,000 after the drawing phase. Hildebrand called and mucked when Chen rolled over 
.
The next hand, Chen opened to 11,000 on the button and Hildebrand in the small blind called, as did Zalewski in the big blind. Zalewski drew two cards while both other players drew one. Hildebrand bet 20,000 and Zalewski said, "I am out," before mucking his cards. Chen stared at Hildebrand for half a minute and came to the same conclusion.
