Level 23
: 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante
Elliot Smith opened to 50,000 from the cutoff and Feng Wen Chen three-bet to 137,000 in the small blind. Smith called. The flop came 
and Chen continued for 100,000. Smith called once more.
The 
fell on the turn and both players checked to see the 
on the river. Chen checked again and Smith pushed his three stacks of yellow 5,000 chips into the middle. A bet worth 330,000, leaving just 30,000 behind.
Chen thought for a moment before releasing his cards to the muck.
