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 {a-Spades}{2-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} flop, but Chung bet when it was checked to him on the {9-Hearts} turn - 13,000. His opponent made the call. Both players checked the {k-Spades} river, the small blind showing {8-Clubs}{9-} for a turned pair of nines, but Chung the {k-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} for a better pair hit on the river.
