Chen Shoves Out Tran
Level 1
: Blinds 100/300, 300 ante
Players on Day 1 of the Main Event begin with more than 300 big blinds, but that didn't stop Yuhang Chen from getting all his chips in the middle within the first 15 minutes of the day.
Duc Tuan Tran bet 6,200 from the small blind on a board of 4?3?6?7? before Chen raised to 20,000 on the button. Tran then reraised to 40,000.
"Really," Chen asked. He then moved all in for around 80,000 more. "Got a five or playing a flush draw," Tran asked him, but Chen remained silent staring straight ahead.
Tran eventually folded and Chen took the early big pot. "I see how you lost your first bullet yesterday. It's okay, it's only one hand," Tran added.
