Blain Hits His Draw

Daoxing Chen raised it up to 80,000 and the table folded around to Dermot Blain who decided to give us some action as he called in the big blind.

The flop arrived {3-Spades}

and Blain was first to speak. He checked and Chen fired 150,000. Blain made the call as we sat up in our chair at the prospect of a big pot going down.

The turn brought the {2-Hearts}

and Blain checked again, but this time Chen checked behind.

The river was the {4-Spades}

, completing quite a few draws, and Blain decided to lead out with a bet. He made it 325,000 and we didn't have to worry about entering "Bobo Time" on this hand as Chen instantly called.
