Yu Chen Chen is doing an amazing job at putting excruciating pressure on his opponents. When Alexandre Côté-St-Louis raised to 250K, Yu Chen called from the small blind. He then went ahead and bet in front of Côté-St-Louis, for 225K. Côté-St-Louis called, and bet 425K after Yu Chen checked the turn. That bet was raised all-in, putting maximum pressure on Côté-St-Louis.
The board showed many small cards, which makes it easy to imagine that Côté-St-Louis reluctantly folded a big pre-flop hand, choosing to keep 1.5M for a rainy day.
A few hands later, Alain Bérard hurt him badly, taking half his stack with 
against his 
. The flop showed a 5, bringing Côté-St-Louis down to less than 1M in chips.
Meanwhile, Charles La Boissonnière plays some smart poker, choosing his spots and mostly staying away from Yu Chen. He is second in chips with almost 3M.
