Halil Snap-Calls Chen's Bluff

On a flop of 4♣J♣8♦, there were already around 50,000 chips in the pot when Zhen Chen checked from the small blind, as did a player in middle position. Hassan Halil was on the button and made it 8,000, which both of his opponents called.

All three checked the 4♦ turn to the 9♥ river, where the action checked to Halil, who fired out 25,000. Chen thought for a while before he made a huge raise to 200,000, which got the player in middle position to fold. However, Halil snap-called for his stack of around 60,000.

Chen showed 10♥10♠, but Halil was never folding his 9♠9♣ as he rivered a set.
