Massive Hand Sends Chadha Into The Lead

Christian Zetzsche

Level 6 : 300/600, 75 ante

It all started rather innocent with a raise to 1,350 by Carlos Chadha from under the gun and four players making the call. On the flop is where things started to blow up. Corey Hochman somehow got his stack of 35,550 in via open-shove and Anatoly Filatov quickly called from the small blind. Carlos Chadha gave it some thought as well and then called, too. The fell on the turn and Filatov moved all in within a matter of seconds.

Chadha was sent into the think tank, talked through possible hand combinations. Eventually, Chris Hunichen called the time on him and the floorman came over to start the countdown of one minute. With five seconds left, Chadha slid forward his stack of what appeared to be 65,000 as well and it created a massive pot.

Chadha:
Hochman:
Filatov:

Two flush draws against middle set were a more than juicy combination and the river sent the entire pot to Chadha, busting Hochman as a result and sending Filatov back below starting stack.
