Prior to the start of the hand, the new level starts without a break and the blinds increase to 75,000-125,000 with a big blind ante of 125,000.

Hand #13: Jiaxu Chen opens to 250,000 from under the gun and Gary Lin calls in the next seat, everyone else folds. On the flop both players opt to check. Chen bets the turn for 325,000 and Lin calls.

The same action repeats on the river when Chen makes it 850,000 to go. Lin ponders about the move for the entire 30-second shot clock and stares at his opponent, then calls. Chen flips over for top pair and top kicker to win the pot.

Jiaxu Chen – 12,000,000 (96 bb)
Gary Lin – 2,850,000 (23 bb)
