Chen Needs Chips

Level 13

Stud

Dealt the {2-Diamonds} up, Bill Chen brought it in then called when Brian Hastings completed with the {10-Hearts}. Chen again called Hastings' fourth-street bet, then took the lead betting both fifth and sixth with Hastings calling. Chen finally gave up on seventh, checking and folding to Hastings' bet to preserve his final 14,000 chips.

Chen: (X)(X) / {2-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{7-Clubs}{8-Clubs} / (X) - FOLDED
Hastings: (X)(X) / {10-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} / (X)

Hastings continues to enjoy a big stack of about 540,000. Meanwhile, Chen managed to more-than-double through Vladimir Shchemelev on the next hand to get back to 50,000.
