With around 15,000 in the pot and a flop of  8h 3c 9c, the player in the small blind checked and Xingjun Chen, who finished seventh in this event last May for $21,684, moved all in for 13,900 from the big. Marius Toderici called from the under-the-gun position, and the small blind got out of the way.

Chen:  10d 7s
Toderici:  8h 8s


Toderici had flopped a set, but Chen was drawing live to an open-ended straight. Not only did he hit it on the  jd turn, he avoided the board pairing on the  kc river to ship the double.

Marius Toderici - 70,000

Xingjun Chen - 45,000
