Leow Squeezes for Victory
Level 18
: 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Albert Paik is not getting things all his own way at the final table, and Ivan Leow has just pulled off a nicely timed squeeze play to win close to 80,000 without a flop being dealt. It was Paik opening the action from the cutoff with a raise to 22,000 with Chihwen Chen making the call from the small blind.
With the action on Leow, the Malaysian player thought things over for a spell before squeezing out a raise to 100,000. Paik folded pretty speedily, and while Chen took a little longer, he too also gave it up. There was a little bit of banter about who folded what, but Leow looked happy enough to rake in the free chips.
