Chung Takes the Chip Lead With Huge Hero Call
Level 28
: Blinds 500,000/1,000,000, 1,000,000 ante
Italo Modena raised from under the gun to 2,000,000 and Timothy Chung called in the small blind. Hassanin Hashim also called from the big blind with K♥Q♠.
All three checked the 7♣7♦6♣ flop to the A♣ turn, where it checked to Modena, who fired out 2,000,000. Chung called and Hashim folded.
A Q♥ dropped on the river and after Chung checked, Modena used a time bank before announcing a bet of 12,000,000. Chung snap-called!
Modena showed 9♥8♥ for a bluff, and Chung showed J♦J♣ for the winner with a pair of jacks.
Huge call from Chung, who now takes the chip lead.
