James Chen Eliminated in 9th Place (HK$390,000)
Level 20
: 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
James Chen moved in once and claimed the blinds and antes. Only a few minutes later, it would be all over, though. A raise to 40,000 by Ben Lai was met with the all in for around 270,000 by Chen and, once the action had folded back to Lai, a quick call followed.
James Chen: 
Ben Lai: 
Chen was behind and needed to find a queen or plenty of red cards in order to double. The board came 
and the kicker played a crucial role, eliminating Chen in 9th place for HK$390,000 (~$50,700). That concludes Day 2, as the remaining eight players will now bag up and come back tomorrow at 12.30 p.m. local time. There are 45:36 left on the clock for level 20 when the action resumes and the chip counts and a recap of today's action will follow soon.
