Proving that it’s not just high roller events he’s good at Taiwan’s James Chen is stacking up pretty well in the Main Event and has just added some more ammunition to his chip arsenal.
Pre-flop it was France’s Ivan Deyra who kick-started the action with an early position raise to 1,800. Billy ‘the Croc’ Argyros tossed in the call before James Chen peeked down at his hole cards and then squeezed to 6,000 in total.
Deyra looked suspicious and made the call and after some deliberation so did the Croc and we go three-way to a flop of 
.
This brought checks from both Deyra and Argyros and Chen continued to sell the story of a strong hand with a bet of 11,500. That’s enough to get Deyra to give it up quickly but the Croc mulled it over for a bit.
“I guess you’ve got it, nice hand,” said Argyros, sliding his cards face down into the muck, leaving Chen to scoop a juicy pot.

With only the HK$80,000 Pot Limit Omaha High Roller running today it appears that many of the big buy-in players have opted to take a shot at the Main Event instead with Sergio Aido, Isaac Haxton, David Peters, Nick Petrangelo, Sam Greenwood and Dan Smith all busy beavering away here on Day 2.
Petrangelo and Peters are seated at different tables for a change, but Mikita Badziakouski and Davidi Kitai, who both final tabled the HK$206,000 Single Re-Entry Shot Clock on Tuesday 4 April, are amusingly seated at the same table once again in the Main Event.
James Chen told us he is planning on playing the second HK$200,000 Single Re-Entry Shot Clock tomorrow, unless of course he is still going in the Main. Currently Chen is seated at Billy the Croc’s table with the two players discussing strategy at present.
Another high roller who is in attendance and appears to be doing pretty well is Sergio Aido and we managed to catch the Spaniard in action in the following hand.
Pre-flop it was Aido who was the initial aggressor, opening the action with a raise to 2,000 from the hi-jack and finding a caller in Nianqing Wang, who chose to defend from the big blind.
Wang checked the 
flop over to Aido, who decided a c-bet was in order and bet out 1,500, which Wang quickly called.
Both players checked the turn opening the door for Wang to take a stab on the river and he reached for chips and tossed out a bet of 6,000.
Aido does not look thrilled about it but made a crying call and Wang rolled over the mighty 
for the turned boat. The Spanish player gave a wry grin and flashed his opponent pocket aces before tossing them into the muck.

The 
was laid out on the table in front of him and an opponent's 
. The board read 
and the pot was being awarded to O'Dwyer's opponent.
