Chen's Overbet Gets Paid By Sokolovsky
Level 16
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Zhen Chen made it 10,000 to go from the cutoff and Alexander Sokolovsky three-bet from the button to 40,000. Once the blinds folded, Zhen asked, "How much are you playing?". Upon seeing that Sokolovsky had around 900,000, Chen called.
They went to a flop of 6♥8♠10♠ where both checked to the 8♦ turn. Chen led out for 30,000, and Sokolovsky called.
When the A♠ dropped on the river, Chen fired an overbet of 225,000. Sokolovsky thought about it for some time before he eventually called.
Chen then showed a full house with A♥8♥, and Sokolovsky mucked.
