Chen Triples Up
Level 7
: Limits 2,000/4,000, 0 ante
Jeffery Stepaniuk raised under the gun, seeing James Chen call in the hijack. Robert Yass defended his big blind as the trio went to a flop of 6♣9♥5♠. Yass checked, Stepaniuk bet, and both Chen and Yass called.
Stepaniuk also bet the 10♦ turn, after which Chen moved all in for 5,500. After clarifying his options, Yass called, and Stepaniuk tossed in the few extra chips as well.
The river came the K♥. Yass checked for a third time, this time folding when Stepaniuk completed his triple barrel.
Chen then tabled A♠8♣7♦2♥ for a straight to the ten, tripling up as Yass' cards were quickly disposed of.
