Chen Puts his Bullets to Good Use

Bill Chen

Bill Chen opened the action from the cutoff with a raise to 1,800. Mats Rahmn called from the button and then the small blind reraised to 6,600. Chen then moved all in to 19,100.

Rahmn folded on the button, but Chen was called by the small blind, who showed {A-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}. Chen turned over {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts} and had a commanding lead going to the flop.

Flop: {J-Spades}{2-Hearts}{5-Hearts}
Turn: {8-Diamonds}
River: {6-Hearts}

Chen doubled up--and then some--to just over 46,000.
