Chen Climbing
James Chen has wasted no time getting involved in the action and we caught the Taiwanese player embroiled in a multi-way pot padding out his stack. Action was picked up on a flop of 
with four players in the hand with close to 800 or so in the middle.
All four players checked the flop, with the player in the big blind deciding to take a stab for 600 on the 
turn. The player in the hijack called, as did Chen from the cutoff, with button Anthony Abram the only player to bow out.
The 
river completed a possible diamond flush and the player in the big blind led out for 700. The player in the hijack folded and action was on Chen, who eyed his opponent calculatingly before opting to re-raise to 2,700 in total. It did not take long for the big blind player to let it go, leaving Chen to scoop the pot without showdown.
