Andrew Chen raises to 48,000 and [Removed:197] moves all in behind, everyone else folds and Chen quickly calls.

Nasr: {K-Diamonds}

Chen:

The flop comes {10-Diamonds}

and Nasr has flopped a flush draw but Chen has top set and just needs to dodge a diamond to eliminate his opponent. The turn {7-Spades}

and river

seal the deal for Chen and Nasr goes out in 7th place.

The shortest-stack currently at the table, Massimo Di Cicco, pushed all in preflop and snapped up the blinds and antes uncontested.

Slow progress at the moment. We'll have to lace their drinks with Red Bull during the next break.
