Chen Doubles Through Svesko
Level 4
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
On a flop of 5♦10♥Q♦ with around 8,000 in the middle, Zhen Chen was seen with 10,500 in front of him and Darko Svesko had made it 25,000. Chen then shoved for around 95,000, and Svesko quickly called.
Zhen Chen: J♦9♦ 
Darko Svesko: Q♣10♣
Chen had flopped a huge combo draw and needed to get there against the top two pair of Svesko. It was a case of 'instant service' for Chen as the 8♣ turn gave him the nuts, leaving Svesko needing to boat up on the river. However, the 6♥ river was a brick, meaning Chen doubled up while Svesko was left with 50,000 and anything but a convivial look on his face.
