Chen Building

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Joseph Tauber started the action with a raise from under the gun to 1,200. In middle position, Huabao Chen decided to raise the price up to 2,800. Daniel Vargas elected to call on the button, and Tauber closed the action calling as well.

Three-way action to the flop reading K76. Tauber checked, and Chen put in a 4,700 chip bet. Vargas called and Taubert mucked.

When the J peeled off, Chen put in another bet to the tune of 12,500. Vargas, continuing to stick around, made the call.

Heads-up to the A river bringing in a potential straight and flush. Chen now put out 6,000 chips as his third barrel, and Vargas quickly folded.
