Main Event (9,000 NTD)

After an open and a three bet from Victor Chen, the player in the cutoff decided to rip it in with A♦ Q♠ for his last 22,200. The initial raiser stepped aside, and Chen quickly made the call with 5♦ 5♠ . It was a classic race, but Chen’s pocket pair held strong as the board ran out 4♣ 9♦ 4♦ 9♣ 3♣ , giving his opponent no help and locking up the pot.
