The turn was the

Chen started to reach for chips.
"Easy tiger," Kassouf said. "You're sandwiched between a rock and a hard place."
Chen called.
"Taiwan's number one player," Kassouf continued. "James Chen ladies and gentlemen. One more card right? Anything can still happen. I call."
On the
river, Asensio checked over to Chen. Chen put out a bet of 18,500.
"Wow, another cooler," Kassouf started up again. "Unbelievable."
As Kassouf started thinking, he broke into a rendition of Enrique Iglesias' Hero. "I can be your hero, baby."
"Wait, he bet?" Kassouf continued. "He can't do that I checked out of turn. Doesn't that stand? Am I allowed to show my cards?"
Kassouf sighed, then folded. "I had a feeling this was gonna be a sick one."
Asensio then dropped into the tank, and after about a minute and a half, he called.
Chen showed ![]()
