Reard Earns a Double-Up Through Chen
Level 10
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
The board read 10♦2♣5♥4♦ with 160,000 in the middle. Hui Chen checked from the cutoff, then Alexandre Reard responded with a shove from the button for 225,000. Chen tanked for a bit, used a time bank card, and then called with the bigger stack.
Alexandre Reard: K♥K♣ 
Hui Chen: 7♣4♣
Chen had turned a pair of fours, but Reard was ahead with the pocket kings.
The river completed the board with the Q♣, which changed nothing, and Reard doubled up.
