Level 16
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 5,000 ante
A big pot broke out between Randy Hockey, Jonathan Tackett, and Tsung-Yi Chuang. This hand was picked up after the pot had swelled to about 100,000 on a board that read 3♥K♠5♠10♥.
Chuang checked his option from the small blind before Hockey followed with a check from early position. Tackett followed with a big bet of 100,000. Chuang took a while before he made the call. Hockey also gave it considerable thought, but he opted to fold.
The 8♥ river peeled before Chuang checked. Tackett did not hesitate to go all-in and put Chuang to a decision for all his chips.
Chuang folded as Tackett dragged in a huge pot late on Day 1b.
