Chen's Hope Of Another Final Tables Comes To An End
Andrew Chen, who finished third in this event back in Season 5, won't be making a return trip to the final table as he was recently flushed away on the river.
In the hand, Sweden's Eddie Tasbas opened for 2,500 from the cutoff and received a call from Kyle Frey on the button. After the small blind got out of the way, Chen put in a three-bet to 8,000 from the big. Both his opponents called and it was three-way action to the flop.
Chen took a moment before leading out for 5,500, which pushed Tasbas from the hand. Frey proceeded to put in a call, and then he moved all in for approximately 40,000 when Chen checked the turn. Chen, who only had 31,000 behind, thought for a solid 90 seconds before calling off.
Showdown
Chen:
Frey:
Chen got it in good with a pair of aces and just needed to survive the river. Unfortunately for him, the spiked on the river to complete Frey's flush and give him the win. "Good game," Chen said while still shaking his head.
