Reussow Picks His Spot Well

Level 17 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

There was a limp in middle position and action folded all the way to Patrick Leonard in the small blind who flat called. The big blind was Rich Reussow who also made the call and the players went to a flop three ways.

The 10710 flop hit the felt and Leonard immediately led out for 15,000. Reussow took his time and eventually raised to 45,000. The action was then back on middle position who seemed to have a tough decision. Eventually they found a fold. Leonard didn't take long before releasing his hand and Reussow dragged the pot.

PokerNews caught up with Reussow who gave them the downlow on what his holding was. "I had K7 in the blinds so I was betting a seven since I couldn't put him on a ten."

The aggression paid off and Reussow gets a great bet through against one of the games greats.

Chen Survives Again

Level 16 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

There was an early position open to 30,000 and action folded to Fen Chen in late position who three bet jammed for the remainder of his chips.

Action folded all the way back to the original raiser who quickly called, and the two players tabled their hands.

Fen Chen: AJ
Early position: A6

The board ran out 2K9K4 and Chen found another crucial double just after making the money.
