Chan Sees 5 For Free

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante

A player in early position called the big blind of 400. Johnny Chan raised to 1,400 from middle position and found a caller from the player on the button. The original limper came along and the {j-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} was dealt. All three players checked and it checked around again when the {2-Hearts} turn came. The {2-Clubs} river saw all three players check again.

The player in early position showed pocket threes and Chan turned over {7-Spades}{7-Hearts} causing the big blind to fold. You have to wonder if intimidation played a factor in the way that hand played out.
