Fee Continuing His Rise

Andrew Chen started with an early-position raise to 15,000. Ryan Fee was the lone caller, and the two men went heads up the rest of the way.

The flop brought {2-Clubs}

. Chen checked, and Fee took the lead with a bet of 17,000. Chen wasted little time calling.

Fourth street was the {2-Diamonds}

, and both players checked.

The river came the {Q-Clubs}

. Chen passed again, and Fee casually announced, "Fifty," sliding out ten blue T5,000 chips. This brought Chen to a pause, as he chuckled and lamented his decision.

"I mean, I think I have to call," he said as he counted out the pot on his fingers. He then took his cards into his hands, tapping them on the felt and seemingly debating a fold. Finally, he almost asked, "I call?" and put in the matching chips.

"Jacks," said Fee, as he turned over {J-Diamonds}

. It was the winner, as Chen flung his cards back into the muck. He said something unintelligible, and as Fee pulled in the chips, he remarked, "You have to know, I value-bet thinner than anyone at this table by, like, a lot!"
