Chen Makes a Big Fold
Level 2
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Quan Zhou raised to 2,000 from under the gun and Dong Chen defended from the big blind. The flop came A♣8♦6♠ and Zhou continued with a bet of 2,500. Chen check-raised to 10,000 and Zhou just called.
The turn was the 3♠ and Chen led out with a large bet of 40,000. Zhou used a time bank and then announced all in as the bigger stack. Chen was left with 170,000 chips in front of him as he dipped into the tank. Over three minutes had passed and Chen finally threw his A♦8♠ face up into the muck.
