Chen Aces Up
Level 17
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Xingwei Chen opened from under the gun, and action folded to Qiang Wang on the button, who made it 80,000. Chen didn't hesitate and shoved it all in, putting Wang at risk. He made the call, and the cards went on their backs.
Qiang Wang: 8♠8♦
Xingwei Chen: A♠A♣
Wang needed some help from the board, and the flop and turn gave him a few more outs for a possible straight draw with 5♥6♠J♠7♦. But the river brought the A♥, giving Chen a set and eliminating Wang.
