button in SafariChen Makes Gutsy Call
Level 17
: 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
The hand was picked up on the river with Skye Chen tanking on a difficult decision.
The board read J♣Q♥4♥2♣8♥, and Liya Gerasimova, who was the big blind, had applied pressure with a bet of 100,000, which was more than Chen had.
After some time to think, and despite the flush and straight possibilities, Chen risked her tournament life on a call.
Gerasimova tabled Q♣10♠ for a pair of queens. Chen had K♦Q♠, for a matching pair, but with a better kicker.
