Chen Wins a Couple With Eights
Level 1
: 100/200, 200 ante
There was over 9,000 in the pot in a blind-versus-blind battle on a board reading 
. Mo Chen had checked and action was back on him after his opponent put in a bet of 5,000. Chen check-raised to 12,000 and his opponent tossed in chips to call.
After calling, Chen's opponent turned over 
for a straight. Chen tabled 
for a rivered full house and took down the sizeable pot.
On the following hand, a player raised from the cutoff to 500 and Chen called on the button. The flop came 
and the original raiser made a continuation-bet of 800. Chen called and the two proceeded to check the turn 
and river .
At showdown, Chen's opponent announced he had no pair while Chen tabled 
and took down a second consecutive pot with pocket eights.
