Jer El Salsero (pictured above) raised to 12,000 from under the gun. Walter van Dalen called and Z Chen three-bet to 37,000. Ismail Sahar then moved all in for 36,000.
El Salsero asked for clarification whether Chen could raise if he called. After the situation had been relayed to tournament staff, and it was ascertained that Chen could not in fact raise, El Salsero called.
Then, Van Dalen four-bet all in for 103,000. Chen thought for a long time before folding. El Salsero snap-called. All the cards were turned over.

“I had the best hand,” said Chen in Dutch, making out that he folded Jacks.
The board ran out and El Salsero handed over chips to both Sahar and Van Dalen, with the pair fist-bumping as the players then went on break.
