Chen Button Squeeze Gets Through

Level 28 : 30,000/60,000, 5,000 ante

From under the gun C��sar Garc��a opened to 125,000 with {3-Spades}{3-Clubs} and to his direct left Mario Puccini made the call with the {6-Clubs} in his hand. We will never know what the other hole card was because when the action folded to Andrew Chen on the button he squeezed to 275,000 and both opponents folded.

The final British player in the field, Marc Wright, has been eliminated by Davidi Kitai and the latter takes a massive chip lead moving forward.

Wright opened to 125,000 from early position and called when Kitai three-bet to 285,000. The flop came {4-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}{8-Spades} and Kitai continued for 235,000. Call. The turn came {10-Clubs} and Kitai's second barrel for 550,000 was treated to an all-in for 2,890,000 from Wright.

Kitai tanked for more than five minutes as Wright sat there fidgeting in his seat from one position to another. Eventually he made the call and the cards were on their backs.

Kitai: {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs} for top pair.
Wright: {q-Spades}{j-Spades} for a double gutshot draw.

The river came {3-Clubs} and Wright looked disappointed as he left the stage. Kitai will take some stopping now.

Kilickeser Makes An Ill-Timed Move

Bahadir Kilickeser has slid down the chip counts after running a bluff against Andrew Chen when Chen held trips!

Chen opened the betting with a raise to 130,000 from under the gun and the action folded around to Kilickeser two seats to his left who was holding {6-Spades}{5-Spades} and decided to call. The dealer fanned out the {8-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} flop and Chen fired a continuation bet of 200,000 only to see Kilickeser raise to 500,000. Chen quickly called and the dealer put out the {q-Clubs} on the turn.

Chen, who had {K-Hearts}{q-Spades} in his hand, checked his trips and as soon as he had done Kilickeser bet 500,000 and Chen wasted no time in calling. The river was the {5-Hearts} and Chen checked again. Kilickeser bet just 500,000 into the 2,920,000 pot and Chen almost instantly called and took down the sizeable pot.
