Chen Doubles Through Foxen

Level 5 : 300/500, 500 ante

Alex Foxen opened the action with a raise and James Chen called in the big blind. The flop came down {6-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{4-Hearts} and both players checked and saw a {j-Diamonds} turn. Chen bet 1,700 and Foxen called, and on the {7-Clubs} river, Chen's check allowed Foxen to bet 7,000, which was enough to put his opponent all in.

Chen thought for several minutes before he made the call for his tournament life.

"I'm just too curious," said Chen.

Foxen tabled {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs} for ace high, and Chen won the pot with {7-Hearts}{5-Hearts} for a pair.
