Choong Catches Chen
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Bo Chen limped from the small blind, which led to a raise to 70,000 total from the big blind by Yita Choong. Chen responded with a three-bet to 220,000.
Choong four-bet to 375,000 before Chen five-bet all-in. Choong made the call to put himself at risk for 855,000.
Yita Choong: Q♣Q♥
Bo Chen: Q♠7♠
Choong was well ahead of Chen as he had his opponent's hand dominated.
The flop was ominous as it came 9♦5♣6♦ to give Chen a straight draw.
The straight draw never came in as Choong stayed ahead on the A♦ turn and the 10♠ river to secure the double-up.
