Velador Catches Chen Bluffing
Level 20
: Limits 30,000/60,000, 0 ante
Luis Velador gave up a pot against Johannes Becker on the river of a queen-high board which contained no possible low. He then raised and James Chen defended the big blind. Chen check-called a bet on the Q♣Q♠3♥ flop and check-raised the 6♠ turn, Velador called.
Chen also bet the 6♥ river and earned a call from Velador, exposing his A♥10♦8♠2♠ for a missed flush and nut low draw. Velador had that beat with the A♦A♠J♣7♥ to drag in a healthy pot.
