Chen Chips Up Against Matusow; Mercier Out Quickly
Level 7
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,800 ante
Mike Matusow raised to 3,000 in the hijack before facing a three-bet to 11,000 from James Chen on the button. Matusow called and drew one as Chen stood pat.
Matusow checked, Chen fired 12,000 chips, and Matusow mulled it over before finding a fold.
On another table, Jason Mercier was seen departing after having played for just under 20 minutes.
