Chen Folds Aces

Level 3 : 100/200, 25 ante

An interesting hand played out between Freddy Kwek Wei and Zhining Chen and we picked up the action pre-flop. Wei (small blind) had a 2,000 bet out on the felt in front of him and was facing a re-raise of 6,500 in total from Chen, who was sitting under-the-gun plus one.

Wei thought for a minute and slid in the call and the flop fell a monochrome {3-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}, which brought checks from both players and the {k-Clubs} hit the turn.

Wei now led for 7,200 and after thinking things over Chen made the call and the {9-Hearts} river completed the hand, but not the betting, with Wei tanking for around a minute before moving all-in for slightly over 20,000.

It was Chen’s turn to tank as, with 21,500 behind, this represented a big call for the majority of his chips. Eventually after three minutes or so Chen open-folded {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds} to gasps from the rest of the table. Wei did not show and quietly scooped the pot.
