Pete Chen Eliminated in 17th Place ($19,358)
Level 27
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
The action folded around to Pete Chen in the small blind, who shoved for around 850,000. Allen Shen was in the big blind and immediately called.
Pete Chen: A♠8♣
Allen Shen: A♣K♦
Chen was in trouble, but did find some chop outs as they both hit trips on the A♦A♥5♠ flop. A K♣ on the turn all but sealed the deal for Shen as he made top boat, with Chen searching for a king on the river to chop. Instead, the 2♥ rolled off, and Chen was out in 17th.
