Chen Doubles Again
Level 26
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Simone Andrian moved all in from the small blind, putting the pressure on Zhen Chen, who took his time before calling off his stack of just over 1,600,000 from the big blind.
Zhen Chen: Q♣10♣ 
Simone Andrian: A♣3♣
Chen was at risk and needed to come from behind to stay in the tournament. The 8♥K♦9♥ flop gave him a more hope with a straight draw, but Andrian’s ace-high remained in front.
The 6♣ turn provided Chen with additional outs, and the 7♥ river delivered the straight he needed to survive. Chen doubled up yet again, continuing his streak of timely escapes.
