Yu Chen Chen has been pretty active, and when he opened to 250K, Nicolas Laliberté thought he could pick those chips up with an all-in bet. He shoved, and when the dealer was done counting the stack on Yu Chen’s request, 2M were to be called.
Yu Chen did make the call, which created the biggest pot of the night by far.
