Chen Makes a Big Call

[user76023]

Andrew Alan Chen raises preflop and Alexiou Konstantinos calls. Chen bets 120,000 on a {Q-Hearts}

{Q-Hearts}

{9-Hearts}

{5-Spades}

flop and the Konstantinos calls. With the pot swelling to over 500,000, both check the {3-Spades}

{3-Spades}

turn before Konstantinos bets 215,000 on the river {7-Clubs}

{7-Clubs}

.

Chen looks pained and really thinks long and hard before calling, and Konstantinos shows {10-Hearts}

{10-Hearts}

{8-Hearts}

for a missed straight-flush draw. Chen flips {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{6-Clubs}

for only ace high, but it's good enough for a big pot.

Konstantinos must be rueing not getting aggressive on the flop.
