Chen Finds the River to Double Up
Level 16
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Rani Sami opened to 25,000 from early position and Chris Chen shoved from the next seat for around 120,000. Once the action got back to Sami, he quickly flicked in the call.
Chris Chen: A♦K♥ 
Rani Sami: A♣6♣
Chen held a huge lead, but soon fell behind when the dealer put out a flop of 5♦10♦6♠, pairing Sami's six. A Q♣ dropped on the turn which have Chen some more outs with a Broadway draw, but he didn't seem confident and reached for his bag in preparation for an early departure. However, he soon put it back down again when he smashed top pair with the K♦ river, much to the shock of the table.
