Chen Tank-Busts But Misses Pay Jump
Vojtech Susta raised to 60,000 from the cutoff and Pete Chen three-bet to 500,000 on the button, leaving himself behind with a mere 25,000-chip. Action folded back to Susta who made the call.
The flop came 
and Susta bet 50,000 for Chen to dive deep into the tank as there were 72 players left and a pay jump was looming. Chen kept on tanking and even told the table that he'd be tanking until someone called the clock on him and that he'd understand if someone did. The tank lasted several more minutes and his tablemates all waited patiently for quite a while until one of them decided to pull the trigger and called the clock.
The floor came over, Chen confirmed that there would be a countdown. The floor confirmed and gave him 30 seconds. When she started counting down, Chen held his chip over the line before putting it down to make the call for his last 25,000 on the 2-second mark.
Pete Chen: 
Vojtech Susta: 
The rest of the board was completed with the 
on the turn and the 
on the river for Chen to get eliminated. The floor confirmed Chen finished in 72nd place for €4,000 and that he had missed the pay jump.
