A Big Bite For Argyros

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Billy "The Croc" Argyros has found some bite in a big clash with Peter Chan. Argyros opened with a preflop raise to 18,000 before Chan three-bet to 51,000. Argyros made the call to see a flop of {6-Spades}{q-Clubs}{10-Hearts}.

By this stage, Argyros had checked the dark, which prompted Chan to move all in for his last 160,000. Argyros snapped it off with a call, holding {6-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} for bottom set to leave Chan's pocket aces in trouble.

The turn was the {9-Hearts} and river the {7-Hearts} to see Chan eliminated as Argyros climbs over 400,000 in chips.
