Daly Gets Short; Chen Chips Up
Level 19
: Limits 25,000/50,000, 0 ante
On the tail end of a J♦8♦5♠5♣J♥ board, Kyle Cartwright bet out of the big blind and Jason Daly called with a short stack behind. Cartwright tabled the Q♥J♠9♥6♥ for trips jacks and Daly mucked, exposing A♦Ax10♣10x for a brief second.
Shortly after, James Chen raised in the hijack and James Obst called in the cutoff. Chen check-raised the 9♦7♦6♦ flop and called a tree-bet by Obst, which led them to the 9♣ turn. Both checked and did so again on the K♥ river. Chen tabled the A♥8♦5♥4♥ and scooped the pot.
