Chen Wins a Battle of the Blinds vs Balaev
Level 13
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
David Chen limped from the small blind and Viacheslav Balaev made it 32,000 to go from the big blind. Chen wanted to see a flop, as he made the call.
Upon seeing the 6♦8♥7♣ flop, Chen opted to lead out for 20,000. Balaev tossed in the call.
The 10♦ turn checked, through, as did the 6♠ river. Chen tabled A♥7♥ for a pair of sevens and took down the pot as Balaev mucked and showed only a 7♦ for the same pair.
