Chen Lays the Trap, Chernikov Bites
Niveau 27
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Zhen Chen limped in from the small blind and Aleksandr Chernikov shoved from the big blind. Chen snap-called.
Zhen Chen: 10♦10♠ 
Aleksandr Chernikov: 9♣7♣
Chernikov had been shoving a lot over the course of the final table, and had been caught by Chen. There was still a board to sweat and Chernikov made a pair on the 5♥2♦7♥ flop. However, the J♠3♥ runout was clean for Chen, and he took a huge chip lead.
"You really like that hand." said Chen to Chernikov.
