Tuit Knocked Out by Chen
Level 16
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Zeik Tuit raised the pot to 35,000 with 47,000 behind and it folded to big stack James Chen. "You raise my big blind?" Chen said with a smirk and then tossed in a T-25,000 chip for the call.
On the A♦9♣4♥ flop, Chen checked and Tuit moved all-in. After brief consideration, Chen called and instantly said "merry Christmas".
Zeik Tuit: K♦Q♦Q♠J♠
James Chen: 9♦6♠5♦4♣
Chen was ahead with his bottom two pair and improved to a full house on the 7♣ turn and 9♥ river runout.
"You are walking on water," Bruno Fitoussi grimaced while another player remarked "thank you for your service" as the field was brought one elimination closer to the money bubble.
