George Chen Eliminated in 3rd Place ($54,708)
On George Chen’s final hand, Nick Guagenti opened the action from the button and Chen three-bet from the small blind. Brodsky in the big blind folded, Guagenti called.
The flop was J♣5♥5♠ and Chen led out first to act. Guagenti raised him, Chen called.
The rest of the money went on the turn, which was the J♠.
George Chen: Q♠Q♣
Nick Guagenti: K♦J♦
Chen was in great position until the turn, which gave Guagenti trips over Chen’s queens. Chen called for a queen on the river, but the river was the 8♥, ending his impressive run and giving him his highest finish at the WSOP.
