Chen Picks Up Big One Early
Level 1
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Jason Barton made a raise to 4,000 in the cutoff, being three-bet to 16,000 by Yuhang Chen on the button. The blinds got out of the way before Barton called to the 2♥Q♦6♦ flop.
Barton checked, Chen continued for 11,000, and Barton raised to 33,000. Chen put in the required chips for a call, and did so as well when Barton put in 55,000 on the 10♦ turn.
The 8♠ river slowed Barton down, as he checked over to Chen. Chen assembled a massive bet of 155,000, most of his stack. Barton did not need long before surrendering his cards and forfeiting the pot to his neighbor.
