: 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Sarkarov opened the action on the button and Chen called the small blind. The flop was 
and Chen check-raised Sarkarov's 24,000 continuation bet to 120,000. Back on Sarkarov and he moved all in, which Chen couldn't call quick enough.
Pete Chen: 
Elvin Sarkarov: 
It was a set for Chen versus Sarkarov's overpair. The turn was the 
and now it was only two nines that Chen needed to fade, in order to stay in contention. The river bricked the 
and he is back up to near his peak earlier.
