Chow Doubles Through Hassan Then Doubles Hassan

RazorSharpPro

Level 22 : 12,000/24,000, 24,000 ante

Andrew White opened the action from middle position with a raise to 50,000 but folded to a Shane De Clifford small blind three-bet of 167,000, leaving De Clifford free to scoop up some chips without showdown to climb to 1.64 million while White dropped to 375,000 or so.

The following hand saw Huss Hassan open the action for 50,000 from the hijack and call Jensen Chow's button all-in shove of 527,000 and the two tabled their cards.

Huss Hassan:
Jensen Chow:

Chow won the race immediately on the flop, with the turn and river guaranteeing him the double to just over 1-million in chips, with Hassan dropping to 252,000.

However, the next orbit the duo clashed again, Hassan committing his last 250,000 in chips with king-jack and Chow again waking up with ace-queen. This time though it was Hassan who won the hand after pairing his king on the runout to climb to 600,000 in chips, while Chow ended up with 880,000.

Player	Chips	Progress
Jensen Chow	880,000 190,000	190,000
Huss Hassan	600,000 488,500	488,500
