Sin Lan Chen

Sin Lan Chen pushed for 122,000 from under the gun with the 8 ♠️ 8 ♣️ and Shi Yang Chien called one seat over with the marginally covering stack, exposing the A ♣️ Q ♣️ when everyone else had folded.

The pocket pair held on the 9 ♥️ 6 ♦️ 4 ♥️ 5 ♣️ 8 ♥️ runout.

Chien then jammed 2.5 blinds first to act, Chen called in the big blind.

Shi Yang Chien: J ♠️ 5 ♣️

Sin Lan Chen: Q ♣️ J ♥️

The K ♦️ 4 ♦️ 2 ♣️ A ♣️ 7 ♥️ board missed both and Chen won with her high card.
