Vongxaiburana Gets Value From Chen in Lengthy Pot
Three-handed on a flop of 9♥8♣5♠, Nathaniel Wiesner bet 120,000 from the hijack and Veerachai Vongxaiburana called under the gun, as did James Chen in middle position.
The turn was the 10♦ and Vongxaiburana led out for 300,000. Chen called, sending the action back on Wiesner. He tanked for nearly five minutes into the break as he flung his arms in the air in frustration, eventually deciding to fold and leave Vongxaiburana and Chen heads-up.
Vongxaiburana bet another 150,000 on the J♣ river and Chen then went into the tank. He also burned through several minutes of the break before calling as Vongxaiburana turned over A♣7♣6♥4♠2♦ for a straight. Chen mucked, saying he had a set of tens, as Vongxaiburana took down the pot that took up more than half of the break.
