Chen Soars to Chip Lead With Flush Over Flush
Level 10
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Picking up the action on a 10♦5♦A♠ flop, E.C. bet 10,500 from the big blind, which Yujia Hu called under the gun. Lin Chen also came along in the cutoff, prompting the dealer to place the 4♦ on the turn.
The third diamond slowed down E.C., who checked to Hu. Hu took the initiative with a bet of 35,000. Lin called, causing E.C. to get out of the way.
Hu moved all in on the K♠ river, and Lin snap-called for his stack of 54,500. Hu showed 9♦8♦ for a flush, but he was outclassed by the A♦2♦ of Lin, who had turned the nuts and doubled up to a monster stack of 80 big blinds.
