After a couple of successive all in split pots John Cernuto was finally left with one chip from the small blind when Chen raised to 80,000 from under the gun and Cernuto tossed his last chip in blind. Lewis Brant also called from the big blind and they were off to a side pot.

The flop came out Q?Q?10? and Brant checked to Chen who bet 80,000. Brant called and the turn was K?. Brant again checked to Chen who bet 160,000 and Brant called. The river was a 6? and when action was checked to Chen he bet 160,000 and Brant quickly called.

John Cernuto: K?3?5?8?All in
James Chen: A?J?6?4?
Lewis Brant: Q?9?7?5?

Chen's flush beat the trip queens of Brant, and with Cernuto's elimination, we now have our final table and players are being moved to the main table in the Horseshoe.

James Chen opened the action with a raise. To his left, Mathew Rego shoved all in for a little more and everyone folded to Chen, who called.

Mathew Rego: K?K?Q?4? All in
James Chen J?J?7?7?

The K?9?4? flop all but secured it for Rego, although the 8? on the turn brought a minor sweat with the gutshot.

The dealer burned and turned the 10? on the river to complete the backdoor straight for Chen and send Rego packing.

"Oh my God!" Jamie Kerstetter and Matthew Aronowitz blurted out.
