Chen Knocks Out Tollerene Calling With Queen-High


We missed the action but got there in time to write down the hands and board as a whole lot of people were swarming Table 25.
We later learned from one player at the table that James Chen and Ben Tollerene had both committed chips before the flop with the flop coming . James Chen, who won the 2016 Macau Poker Cup High Roller for HK$ 2,273,000 ($293,044) last September, then bet 28,000. Ben Tollerene shoved for 72,000 more and Chen called.
Chen tabled for queen-high with a gutshot, Tollerene tabled
for an open-ended.
The on the turn filled up Chen and Tollerene left the tournament area after the
completed the board.
The rail and other players at the table were in awe after what they had just witnessed. Especially Daniel Shak was very vocal about the hand, underlining that shoving was much easier than calling in that spot.
