Chen Takes Big Pot With River Shove

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

More than 100,000 was already in the middle as James Chen, Scott Bohlman, and Andrew Brown saw a board of 3710K2. Chen then moved all in for 12,900 on the button.

Bohlman took a minute before folding in middle positon as action went on Brown in the hijack. "I promise I've been thinking the entire time," Brown said.

Brown ended up tanking for several minutes until tablemate Eshaan Bhalla called the clock. "You said you were thinking while he was thinking, so really it's been like eight minutes," Bhalla said.

Brown continued muttering to himself as his countdown approached zero, and his hand was eventually declared dead as Chen raked in the pot.

More For Goodman

Griffin Goodman opened to 1,800 in the cutoff and was called by Jeff Madsen on the button. David Prociak defended his big blind, and the dealer revealed the 79Q flop.

Prociak checked to Goodman, who continued for 3,000. Madsen made the call while Prociak got out of the way.

Goodman slowed down with a check on the 9 turn, calling after Madsen fired 8,500. Another check from Goodman followed the Q river, with Madsen checking it back.

Goodman showed AAJ94 for trip nines with an ace kicker, claiming the pot as Madsen slid his cards into the muck.
