Chen Adds To Stack

Level 27 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

The action folded all the way around to Andrew Chen on the button and he decided that {Q-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} was good enough to open the betting with. He made the standard min-raise to 100,000 and his only customer was Davidi Kitai in the small blind holding {7-Spades}{7-Diamonds}.

The dealer put the {j-Hearts}{6-Spades}{q-Spades} flop out onto the felt and Kitai checked its arrival. Chen made a continuation bet of 130,000 and Kitai quickly got out of the way.

Wright Wins First Pot After The Break

Level 28 : 30,000/60,000, 5,000 ante

Davidi Kitai opened to 135,000 from the button when the action folded around to him and only Marc Wright, in the big blind, made the call.

The dealer put out the {j-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} flop and Wright check-called an 85,000 continuation bet. The turn was the {2-Hearts} and both players checked its arrival. But there was no such passivity on the {4-Spades} river because Wright took a stab at the pot by betting 105,000 and Kitai folded.

The hands? Wright held {A-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} and Kitai {Q-Hearts}[6s.
