Holtzman Cuts Chen Down
Level 23
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Over 350,000 was in the middle when this hand was picked up on a completed board that read K♥J♠8♣10♦10♥.
Guy Holtzman slipped it over to Kaiwen Chen, who bet 300,000 on the river.
Holtzman opted to check-raise all in for a total of 1,090,000, which sent Chen into the tank.
Chen took a decent amount of time as he mulled over his decision. Chen confirmed the count and eventually decided on a call.
Holztman revealed that the turn and river were favorable to him as he showed K♠10♠ for a full house.
A disappointed Chen revealed he also hit the turn and river in a significant, but ultimately lesser way, as he showed Q♣10♣ for trip tens.
