Time Bank Confusion Heralds Chen Exit

Level 4 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

We are not sure what all of the pre-flop betting action was as we arrived just as James Chen had moved all-in for 79,000 in total from the button over the top of a Shou Li (big blind) raise of 28,000.

It’s a big decision and there are just 3 seconds left on the clock before Li threw in one of his three time bank chips, but the dealer forgot to restart the 30-second clock. Fortunately, Sergio Aido is on hand to press the button and Li nearly burns through all of his extra time before throwing in the call and the cards are turned over.

James Chen: {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}
Shuo Li: {j-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}

The {8-Spades}{6-Clubs}{10-Hearts} flop brings no help for Chen and the {j-Clubs} turn leaves the Taiwanese high-stakes cash specialist drawing to the decks four remaining queens. Unfortunately for Chen the river is the {7-Diamonds} and it does not look as though he fancies a second bullet.
