Chen Doubles Through... Again!

[user4144]

The new Gloria Gaynor

Andrew Alan Chen is certainly doing it the hard way. As expected, Chen pushed all in for his remaining 224,000 as soon as he found a half-decent holding, but again he was looked up, this time by Salvatore Bonavena in the big blind, and again, he was dominated...

Bonavena = {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

Chen =

{K-Clubs}

{9-Clubs}

He may have been teetering on the edge of defeat, but Chen turned water into wine on the gasp-inducing flop...

{9-Hearts}

{9-Hearts}

{9-Spades}

{A-Diamonds}

A double nine in a line was enough as the turn came {4-Clubs}

{4-Clubs}

followed by an academic {7-Clubs}

{7-Clubs}

on the river.

Chen doubles through to 470,000 and heads off to the nearest newsagent to purchase a lottery ticket.
