WPT Champions Club Member Pete Chen in the Mix

Taiwanese poker pro Pete Chen sits in second place of the country’s all-time money list and only trails high-stakes player James Chen in terms of overall cashes. During his career thus far, he already earned plenty of trophies and came close again last night but fell short of another victory with a fifth-place finish. His girlfriend Chien Chih “Maggie” Weng scooped a WPT Side Event trophy, however, and slowly closes the gap in the trophy cabinet.

Chen can be found in the Day 1a field, which has now reached 141 entries.
