Chen’s River Raise Gets It Done
Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
A player under the gun raised to 1,200, which received calls from two players, including WSOP bracelet winner Pete Chen on the button.
After the two players in the blinds folded, the dealer fanned J♥9♣6♣ on the board. The player under the gun led out with 1,700, which resulted in a player in middle position to fold. Chen, though, called.
The dealer placed K♣, which both players checked. The 8♥ appeared on the river, and the player under the gun led out with 4,500.
Chen took an aggressive line and raised to 12,500. His opponent looked at the board for a few seconds, and then mucked his hand.
