Blinds: 150,000/300,000
After a raise from the cutoff to 700,000, chip leader Bo Chen three bet from the button to 2,100,000. Fellow big stack Organez Mkrtychyan cold called from the small blind, and the original raised folded.
The flop of [Kc][5d][3h] saw Mkrtychyan check called a bet of 1,500,000, and the [Qh] hit the turn. Another check from Mkrtychyan drew a bigger bet from Chen, 4,500,000, and Mkrtychyan thought for about 30 seconds before putting in a min raise to 9,000,000. Chen wasted little time in shoving all in, and Mkrtychyan wasted even less time calling.
Mkrtychyan: [Ks][Kh] Chen: [Qc][3c]
Chen had turned two pair, but he was drawing dead to the top set of Mkrtychyan, and the [6h] completed the board. Mkrtychyan scores a massive double up to over 34 million, while Chen, who has been chip leading this event for most of the day, is now down to just above average chips with about 13 million.
