James Chen Doubles Up Marcelo Asensio

Level 6 : 300/600, 100 ante

While we didn't catch the action, Will Kassouf was shouting "Eight high like a boss!" while James Chen shipped chips over to Marcelo Asensio for a double up.

Chen was holding {9-Clubs}{9-Spades} for a set while Asensio held {8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} for a rivered flush on a board of {2-Clubs}{J-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{A-Diamonds}.

Chen's stack was more than cut in half while Asensio has almost tripled where he started the day.
