: Limits 80,000/160,000, 0 ante
On George Chen��s final hand, Nick Guagenti opened the action from the button and Chen three-bet from the small blind. Brodsky in the big blind folded, Guagenti called.
The flop was J?5?5? and Chen led out first to act. Guagenti raised him, Chen called.
The rest of the money went on the turn, which was the J?.
George Chen: Q?Q?
Nick Guagenti: K?J?
Chen was in great position until the turn, which gave Guagenti trips over Chen��s queens. Chen called for a queen on the river, but the river was the 8?, ending his impressive run and giving him his highest finish at the WSOP.
