Baker Continues to Build Lead Against Chen
Level 34
: Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
David Baker's strong showing during the heads-up match has continued. This hand began when Chuanshu Chen completed from the small blind. Baker checked to see a flop.
Chen chose to bet 500,000 on the 10♠3♥J♥ flop, which led to a call from Baker.
The Q♦ saw a round of checks to bring on the J♣ river. Baker slid out 2,400,000 on the river, which sent Chen into the tank. Chen pondered the situation before he flicked a single chip for the call.
Baker showed him that he turned the queen-high straight when he revealed 9♣8♠. Chen mucked his hand.
