James Chen Approaches 300,000-Chip Mark

Nível 8 : 800/1,600, 400 ante

After a raise to 5,200 from Paul Volpe, James Chen reraised to 15,600 from the small blind. Volpe called.

Chen stood pat, while Volpe took one. Both players checked. Chen showed for a ten-nine, and that was good enough to get a muck from Volpe.

With that pot, Chen moves close to the chip lead and has almost breached 300,000 late here on Day 1.
