"I Think it Was a Good Gamble with All the Money in the Middle."

Level 3 : 50/100, 0 ante

A late position raiser made it 450 to preflop and got four callers, including Bill Chen, but the fifth moved all in. The original raiser folded, the player in the ten seat called, the player in the three seat called and Chen called as well.

"I think it was a good gamble with all the money in the middle," Chen said as he tabled {K-Spades} {6-Spades}.

Three Seat: {A-Clubs} {Q-Spades}
Ten Seat: {A-Hearts} {8-Hearts}
Chen: {K-Spades} {6-Spades}

The board ran {2-Spades} {6-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds} {A-Diamonds} {7-Hearts} and surprisingly the best hand won and tripled up. Chen made his way for the door wondering out loud if he should play tonight's 5:00 p.m. PLO8 event.
