Chung Scoops a Huge Pot Against Covrig
Bernard Larabi opened with Q♥9♦ from early position and Sergiu Covrig three-bet to 1,600,000 from the hijack. Timothy Chung then cold four-bet to 2,600,000 from the cutoff, which got Larabi to fold. Covrig considered for a short time and with over 7,000,000 back, he called.
The flop came 10♣J♦J♠ and after Covrig checked, Chung bet 550,000. Covrig called. A 9♠ dropped on the turn and again Covrig checked, and Chung decided to knuckled back.
A 10♥ landed on the river and Covrig reached for chips and fired a bet of 3,600,000, leaving 2,100,000 behind. Chung had 12,000,000 in his stack and didn't need to think for too long before he called.
Covrig then showed 9♣8♣ for a bluff, and Chung revealed he had rivered a full house with A♦10♦ to scoop the big pot.
