Sabat Turns the Screws on Chen

[user75032]

Edward Sabat hasn't shown much fear during the course of this tournament. He opened a pot for 30,000 and was called in position by Tian Chen. The flop looked harmless enough -- {6-Hearts}

-- but it led to a raising war. Sabat acted first with a bet of 30,000. Chen raised that bet after 20 seconds to 60,000. Without wasting much time, Sabat reraised to 160,000.

That bet put Chen into the tank. He licked his lips once as he stared at the board, puzzling together a range for Sabat. Sabat announced that he had about 620,000 behind his raise after Chen asked for a count. That seemed to cinch Chen's decision. He folded his hand and now has his hands clasped in front of him, forehead leaning against them.
