Chen Makes His Presence Known

Level 20 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Maksim Bukreev has been the short stack for a while, with around 20 big blinds in play. He's been very quiet whilst the other three players have tussled and in the last couple of hands, it's Pete Chen who's come out on top.

First, he was in a hand with Elvin Sarkarov and bet 300,000 on the river, (more than the pot value) with {q-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{a-Hearts} down. It was enough to convince Sarkarov to pass.

Then Sarkarov opened the button to 44,000 and Chen called in the small and Rushad Iskandarov called in the big blind. The dealer laid {j-Hearts}{4-Spades}{j-Clubs} on the flop and everyone checked.

On the {9-Clubs} turn, Chen lead for 57,000 and both Iskandrov and Sarkarov came along. The river was the {9-Diamonds} and Chen barreled 160,000. Iskandarov folded but Sarkarov made the call. Chen tabled {k-Spades}{9-Spades} for the low full house and Sarkarov mucked.
