Chen Wins Blind Versus Blind Battle
Level 6
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Mikalai Vaskaboinikau limped the small blind and James Chen checked his option.
When the 7♠6♣4♣ flop hit the felt, Vaskaboinikau fired 12,000 and Chen called.
The J♥ landed on the turn, and Vaskaboinikau continued for 33,000 before Chen raised to 100,000. Vaskaboinikau made the call.
The dealer dropped the 2♦ on the river and Vaskaboinikau checked to Chen as he slid a stack of greens across the line to bet more than Vaskaboinikau's stack. Vaskaboinikau wasted no time tossing his cards into the muck as the dealer pushed the pot to Chen.
