Chung and Workman Edging Towards Half a Million Apiece
Level 14
: 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Pavillion Black has its own newly ascendant big stacks, among them Samkyu Chung. A neighbour of his asked, "Can you just say "a dumptruck load of chips?" for him?" as his 460,000 dwarfs the nearest stack on his table.
His most recent acquisition was a pot of 40,000, won from the small blind. Chung raised to 7,000 in late position, called by the small blind. No bet followed the 
flop, but Chung bet when it was checked to him on the 
turn - 13,000. His opponent made the call. Both players checked the 
river, the small blind showing 
for a turned pair of nines, but Chung the 
for a better pair hit on the river.
