Chan Keeps the Ship Steady

Johnny Chan is cautiously picking his spots over on the far side of the room. He found one when action folded to him in the cutoff. He opened to 3,000 and was called by the small blind and Manami in the big blind.

On a flop of {5-Diamonds} {Q-Spades} {9-Hearts}, both blinds checked to Chan. He fired for 3,500 and found one caller in the small blind. When the board paired nines on the turn {9-Diamonds}, the small blind checked again. Chan kept up the pressure with a bet of 5,500, which was enough to take down the pot.

Chan has a roughly average stack of 34,000 chips.
