Chan Gets Put to the Test
Level 11
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
WIth 15,000 in the middle on the A♥J♠8♥ flop, Johnny Chan checked to his opponent on the button who fired a bet of 7,000 and he made the call.
The 4♥ hit the turn, and Chan check-called once again, this time for 12,000.
When the A♦ paired the board on the river Chan checked for a final time. His opponent asked how much he had left and Chan pointed at his stack of 25,000. His opponent bet exactly that and Chan went deep into the tank. After about three minutes Chan dropped the chips across the line to make the call.
"Good call," Said his opponent, "Just an ace."
The opponent flashed the A♠ before mucking and Chan tabled Q♥10♥10♦7♣ for a flush to earn the double up.
