Two hands send Can Lin Chen out the door


Can Lin Chen had the chip lead at his table but surprisingly, in two hands, he lost it all. On the first hand, he was up against Suh Seong Hyun. It started with Ikuo Moriyasu raising to 2300, called by Chen, then down several seats, Hyun three-bet to 12k. Ikuo opted to fold but Chen muscled with his large stack and announced all in. This sent Hyun in silence for a short 15 seconds then tossed in the call for his tournament life.

Hyun 8 8
Chen K Q

The board ran 5 7 J 3 A and Hyun celebrated a double up.

With still around 70k left (average stack), just before the break Chen was all in with Q-Q and was booted out by a player with K-K.
