Chen Pays Off Roberts; Busts P?rssinen

Level 17 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Eelis P?rssinen

On the tail end of a hand between Brent Roberts in the big blind and James Chen on the button, the board showed {6-Spades}{4-Clubs}{2-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}. Roberts check-raised from 35,000 to 157,000 and Chen reluctantly paid it off.

Roberts tabled the {j-Hearts}{8-Spades}{5-Spades}{2-Hearts} for a full house, deuces over eights, to win the pot.

One hand later, the table short stack Eelis P?rssinen raised the pot out of a stack of 107,000. Chen in the cutoff repotted and then called the all-in by P?rssinen.

Eelis P?rssinen: {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{3-Spades}
James Chen: {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{9-Spades}{9-Hearts}

The {10-Spades}{9-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} flop propelled Chen into the lead and he retained it throughout the {6-Hearts} turn and {j-Hearts} river, denying P?rssinen a shot at a second WSOP gold bracelet for now. No longer featured at the same table is Phil Galfond and Ian Bradley has also been spotted on his way out of the tournament area.
