Michelle Chin raised on the button and got both blinds, Daniel Strelitz and Horacio Chaves, along for the ride. Each player drew two on the first draw and Chin bet, picking up two callers.
On the second draw, Strelitz drew two, Chaves drew two, and Chin stood pat. That prompted two quick checks from the men and an equally speedy bet from Chin. Strelitz folded but Chaves called.
The final draw saw Chaves exchange one more card while Chin remained pat. Chaves checked, Chin bet, and Chaves called after some thought with 9x7x6x5x2x. Chin had a pair with 5x5x8x7x2x and Chaves dragged the pot.
Next, he won a small pot against Daniel Strelitz to further cement his lead.
