Blinds: 300,000/500,000
The final three had discussed the possibility of looking at the numbers, but the cards had already been dealt, so they decided to play this hand first. Victor Espinal raised it up to 1,000,000, and in the big blind, Yuchen Chen thought for over a minute before three betting to 3,000,000. Espinal called, and both palyers checked the flop of [Jc][8s][6s].
The [Ad] hit the turn, and Chen check called a bet of 1,700,000. The river brought another ace, and another check from Chen. Espinal thought for a while before shoving all in for about a pot sized bet, and Chen took a quick breath before dropping chips in for the call.
Espinal looked defeated as he flipped [Kh][9h] for king high, and Chen showed [Ah][5d] for trip aces. With that, we are now heads up, with Bo Chen holding a lead of 37,400,000 to the 31,900,000 of Yuchen.
