Chen Scoops Seidel for a Full Double-Up, Then Chops Velador's Chips with Becker in Back-To-Back Hands
James Chen raised from early position and was three-bet by Erik Seidel from middle position. Chen made the call and the two players took a heads-up flop of J♦4♠Q♥. Chen would check-raise Seidel all-in and the cards were on their backs.
James Chen: A♥K♥Q♦3♥
Erik Seidel: A♠A♣Q♠2♥
Seidel's pair of aces were in the lead over Chen's top pair of queens on the board, but the 10♥ on the river would give Chen a broadway straight and full double-up.
Chen would be involved in the next hand as well after calling a raise from the big blind against an early position raise from Johannes Becker and call from Luis Velador on the button.
Both Chen and Velador would call a flop bet from Becker and then check down the remaining two streets on a final board of 2♣2♥6♣7♣J♦.
Chen would chop with Becker, continuing to chip up after starting the day as one of the short stacks.
