Chen Heats Things Up to Scoop a Nice Pot
Level 7
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
In a multiway pot with over 7,000 in the middle, the flop read 5♣4♠9♦. Jeffrey West in the small blind and Antony Friel in the big blind both checked, as did Joseph Licata in late position. This left Sunny Chen the option of betting out from the button for 3,000. All players folded apart from Friel, who made the call.
The turn brought the 7♣, and Friel checked again. This time Chen turned up the heat and bet out for 6,500, which sent Friel into the tank. He eventually folded his hand, and some nice aggressive play saw the pot pushed Chen's way with no showdown.
