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.
