Chen Doubles Up in Massive Pot as Kottler Sends It With King-Deuce
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Yuchen Chen raised to 50,000 in the hijack, and Jeremy Kottler three-bet to 140,000 on the button. It folded back to Chen, who called to the 5♥J♠3♦ flop.
Kottler continued for 75,000, which Chen check-raised to 225,000. Kottler tossed in a quick call, and the A♦ hit the turn.
Chen reverted to a check, seeing Kottler retake the initiative with a bet of 250,000. Chen just called this time, and the J♣ river completed the board.
Chen checked again, after which Kottler quickly moved all in for an over-bet, covering Chen's 1,630,000 remaining chips. Chen spent minutes in the tank before he pushed in his stacks of chips for a call.
Kottler tabled K♦2♠ for a spicy bluff with king-high, while Chen doubled up with 5♠5♦ for fives full of jacks.
