Andrew Chen - 5th Place
Andrew Chen and Ryan Fee got tangled up in a big way preflop, resulting in all of Chen's 325,000 chips going into the middle. He was matched by Fee, putting a pot of over 650,000 chips on the line! With no further betting action, and Chen at risk, the hands were tabled.
Showdown:
Chen:
Fee:
The flop was a good miss for Fee as it rolled out . Chen hated it, and began to back away from the table, shaking his head.
As if he knew what was coming, Chen watched the dealer turn the , making Fee's straight. Chen could only stay alive with one of the two remaining eights for a chop. The river was a useless though, and Andrew Chen became just another notch on Ryan Fee's belt.
Emcee Humberto Brenes went over to Andrew Chen to offer some consolation, as the newly-eliminated player was clearly dejected. Hopefully picking up a check for more than $60,000 will do a little bit for the pain.
