Tommy Chen Eliminated in 16th Place ($31,845)

Dec 9, 2011

Tommy Chen limps from the cutoff for 16,000, Larry Wells raises from the button to 60,000, and Antonio Esfandiari thinks for a while in the small blind before he folds. Chen reraises to 136,000, and Wells calls. (Esfandiari would later claim he folded 10-10.)

The flop comes [QdJh5d], Chen moves all in for 270,000, and Wells calls with [KsQs]. Chen turns over [AcAd], and he’s a favorite to double up here. 

But the turn is the [4h], the river is the [Qh], and Wells rivers trip queens to win the pot and eliminate Tommy Chen in 16th place.

Larry Wells  –  1,300,000  (81 BBs)
Tommy Chen  –  Out in 16th Place  ($31,845)
