With just 345,000 left, Bill Chen moved all in and found a caller in, who else, David Diaz.
Chen: 
Diaz: 
The flop was kind to Chen who was ahead with K-high when it came 
. The turn was cruel to Chen though as the 
fell and left him with just the three remaining Kings. The river bricked with the 
and Chen was eliminated in 4th place.
From the button, Bill Chen raised to 70,000 and David Diaz three bet to 190,000 from the small blind. The big blind folded and Bill Chen called.
The flop was 
and David Diaz led out for 150,000. Within a few seconds Bill Chen announced he was all in and David Diaz snap called.
Chen: 
Diaz: 
Diaz had flopped the nuts and already had Chen drawing dead. Diaz started the hand with about 1.1 Million chips to Chen's 1.425 Million so we don't have a bust out yet, but Chen is hurting. Diaz now sits as the chip leader with 2.25 Million chips.
