Dong Chen opened to 125,000 from the cutoff and received calls from Thomas Santerne on the button and Jean-Noel Thorel in the big blind.
The flop came 9♥9♣4♦. Thorel checked, Chen bet 80,000, Santerne raised to 270,000, Thorel folded and Chen called.
On the 2♣ turn Chen check-called a 375,000 bet from Santerne.
The river was the 6♦. Chen checked and Santerne moved all in, covering Chen's remaining stack of 970,000. Chen took about a minute to decide before making the call.
Santerne could only show J♥10♥ for a bluff while Chen turned over A♦4♣ to take the chip lead while leaving Santerne with just under 15 big blinds.
