Pen Overtakes The Chip Lead

Liam Gannon

Level 30 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 0 ante

James Chen raised in the cutoff, Sovann Pen three-bet from the big blind and Chen called.

Pen continued betting on the 9♥7♦2♠ flop and Chen called.

On the turn 2♣, Pen bet a second time and Chen responded by raising which Pen called, and both players checked the river 8♦.

Pen turned over A♠A♥J♠4♣ for aces up with an eight-seven low and it was good to rake in the full pot and overtake the chip lead.
