Chen Check Raises Sammartino
Level 10
: 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Canlin Chen has been busy over the last two levels, running his tiny stack all the way back up over 100,000. Chen padded this out still further at the expense of tablemate Dario Sammartino after opening the action from under-the-gun with a raise to 16,000.
Sammartino was the only caller and the flop fell 
, which Chen checked, opening the door for Sammartino to take a stab for 18,000. It looked like the Chinese player was just playing possum though, and Chen quickly check-raised to 42,000 in total.
This sent Sammartino deep into the tank, where he remained as the shot clock ticked down to zero to give Chen the pot.
