Chen Wins Huge Pot Early on
Level 38
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 0 ante
David Chen limped on the button and Thomas Eychenne raised from the big blind to 30,000. Chen called and the two were off to a flop.
The flop came J♠9♥3♥ and Eychenne fired 45k, and was met with a call from Chen.
The Q♦ on the turn didn't slow Eychenne down, as he now bet 225k. Chen once again called.
The river brought the 9♦ and Eychenne fired a third barrel after playing a time bank card, this time for 400k. Chen didn't think too long before calling. Eychenne turned over the Q♥J♥ for top-two pair but it was no good against Chen's K♣10♥ which turned the nut straight.
