Chen Can't Get Away

[user75032]

Andrew Chen was in the big blind when Annica Ivert opened for 21,000 from the big blind. Chen called to see a flop of {K-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

{7-Clubs}

{9-Clubs}

, where he check-called a bet of 30,000. The turn came {J-Diamonds}

{J-Diamonds}

. Again Chen checked, and again Ivert bet. It was 50,000 chips to see the river. Chen made the call.

The river was not a club. It was the {6-Diamonds}

{6-Diamonds}

. Chen checked a third time and Ivert settled on 93,000 as the right amount to bet. Chen tanked for a couple of minutes before finally calling. We never got to see his hand; as Ivert showed {10-Diamonds}

{10-Diamonds}

{8-Spades}

for the turned straight, which was a winning hand. She's up to roughly 900,000.
