Three Chops Keep Chen In Contention
Ben Lamb raised the button and Andrew Chen defended with 275,000 behind as they got it in after the J?9?7? flop.
James Chen: Q?9?3?2?
Ben Lamb: A?A?Q?J?
Chen survived thanks to the 4? turn and 6? river as he made a low.
Shortly after, Chen was all-in before the flop.
James Chen: A?Q?10?4?
Ben Lamb: J?4?3?2?
The J?8?5? flop vaulted Lamb into the lead with the top pair while Chen had a gutshot and better low redraw. The low came with the 3? turn and Lamb needed an ace to seal the victory but the K? river provided another chop.
Last but not least, they got it in after the 3?3?2? flop and Chen was in rough shape but marginally ahead this time.
James Chen: J?9?5?2?
Ben Lamb: K?6?5?4?
Lamb had the low draw and multiple straight outs but they chopped once more on the 8? turn and J? river runout.
