Baker Bets Big
Level 30
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Chuanshu Chen raised up to 400,000 under the gun, and received a call from both blinds: David Baker and Carmino Argiero respectively.
On a 3♦J♥9♠ flop, Baker and Argiero both checked, before Chen put out a continuation bet for 450,000, which was only called by Baker. The 3♥ turn checked through, allowing the Q♥ river to come in. Here, Chen bet massive, for 1,800,000. Baker thought through his options, before sliding in a mountain of chips, which added up to 4,500,000.
Chen took a long time to come to a decision, and was clearly in a very tough spot. After a good three minutes of tanking, he eventually folded, with the Q♠ face up. Baker was kind enough to let him know that it was a great fold, as he showed 9♥7♥ for the backdoor flush.
