A Bet Saved Is a Bet Earned

A player in middle position raised, and only Bill Chen called in the big blind. Chen checked-called both the {9-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{2-Spades} flop and the {K-Hearts} turn. Both players checked the {Q-Hearts} on the river.

Chen turned over {9-Clubs}{5-Clubs} for nines, while his opponent showed {Q-Hearts}{Q-Clubs} -- the possible straights or flush kept him from betting on the end.

Chen still has 38,000.
