Chen Goes Runner-Runner to Crack Aces
Level 23
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Benny Chen raised to 170,000 from the cutoff with only 20,000 behind and Joshua Suyat called in the small blind.
The dealer fanned out the J♣6♣3♠ flop, Chen put in his remaining 20,000, and Suyat called.
Benny Chen: A♥7♦
Joshua Suyat: A♦A♣
Chen was in rough shape, but the 5♣ turn gave a bit of hope, and the 4♠ river gave him a straight for the unlikely double.
