Chen Pays Off Roberts; Busts Pärssinen
Nível 17
: 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
On the tail end of a hand between Brent Roberts in the big blind and James Chen on the button, the board showed 
. Roberts check-raised from 35,000 to 157,000 and Chen reluctantly paid it off.
Roberts tabled the 
for a full house, deuces over eights, to win the pot.
One hand later, the table short stack Eelis Pärssinen raised the pot out of a stack of 107,000. Chen in the cutoff repotted and then called the all-in by Pärssinen.
Eelis Pärssinen: 
James Chen: 
The 
flop propelled Chen into the lead and he retained it throughout the 
turn and river, denying Pärssinen a shot at a second WSOP gold bracelet for now. No longer featured at the same table is Phil Galfond and Ian Bradley has also been spotted on his way out of the tournament area.
