Runner-Runner Hearts Keep Chen Alive
Level 17
: 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Jiang Chen just doubled up by winning a coin-flip that almost led him to elimination.
Changyang Liu raised from early position, and Jiang Chen shoved from the small blind for 190,000 in chips. Liu called and it was a classic race.
Changyang Liu: 
Jiang Chen: 
The board ran out 
with the flop giving the lead to Liu, but turn and river had other plans, with running hearts keeping Chen alive.
