Mugar Coolers Chen to Take the Lead
Level 13
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
David Chen and Peter Mugar were heads-up in a pot that already had a little over 80,000 in the middle. The board read A♥9♠8♦6♦ and Chen counted out a bet of 45,000 from the small blind. Mugar thought for a minute and then announced all in as the big stack. Chen sighed and then called off his stack of around 160,000.
David Chen: 9♥8♥
Peter Mugar: A♠A♦
Mugar flopped a set of aces against the two pair of Chen which had him drawing dead. The 7♠ completed the board and Chen headed for the doors while Mugar raked in a chip-leading pot.
