Bill Chen Eliminates Rep Porter

[user38971]

Bill Chen led out preflop from under the gun and Rep Porter put himself all in from the big blind. A middle position player called the raise and the three were off to the flop.

Flop: {7-Clubs}

{7-Clubs}

{Q-Diamonds}

{5-Hearts}

Bill bet the flop and his opponent called. The turn was the {Q-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

and Bill fired again and was called. The river was the {8-Spades}

{8-Spades}

and again Bill led out and was called. Bill showed {Q-Hearts}

{Q-Hearts}

{K-Spades}

and his opponent mucked, while Rep Porter showed {2-Diamonds}

{2-Diamonds}

{8-Hearts}

for his share of the pot. Although Porter had found an eight on the river, it wasn't good enough to beat out Bill's trips.
