Chen Squeezes for Victory

Level 2 : 100/200, 25 ante

The recently arrived Quan Zhou opened the action from the cutoff with a raise to 525 and picked up two callers with Qiang Liu (button) and James Chen (big blind) making the call to take the action three-way to a flop of {7-Hearts}{9-Spades}{9-Clubs}.

Chen checked the action over to Zhou who quickly continuation bet 625. Liu tossed in the call from the button and action was back on Chen, who mulled over his options while being suspiciously stared down by Zhou.

It looked as though Zhou was right to be suspicious as when Chen reached for chips they were not for calling with and he slid in a huge check raise to 2,025 in total.

Zhou shot him a wry smile before folding and Liu quickly followed suit, leaving Chen free to rake in the pot without showdown.
