Chen Clashes with Hunichen in Three-Bet Pot
Level 1
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
James Chen opened the action to 12,000 from early position and was three-bet by his neighbor, Chris Hunichen to 42,000.
Chen called and the two players saw a flop of 9♠9♦2♦, to which Chen check-called a bet of 30,000 from Hunichen. The dealer turned the A♦ and again, Chen check-called a bet from Hunichen, this time for 120,000.
The 2♥ on the river double-paired the board and after Chen checked to Hunichen a third time, Hunichen sized up to a bet of 400,000. After some deliberation in the form of a single time-bank, Chen's hand hit the muck.
