Chiang Gets Caught
Wei Cheng Chiang checked a flop, and the player behind him checked as well. Brian Green fired 6,000, and Chiang quickly announced a call. The middle player folded, and they went to the turn heads up. It was check-check in second as these two are among the fastest actors ever seen at a poker table and have been playing lightening-round pots against each other for the last few hours. The river was the , completing a runner-runner club draw. Chiang snap-checked, and Green snap-bet 10,000. Just as fast, Chiang threw out 30,000. That put on the breaks. Green tanked (ok, thought for a few seconds), before making the call for most of his stack. Not what Chiang wanted. He could only show for fourth pair. Green's , top pair top kicker, was plenty good for the massive pot.
Chiang had been among the chip leaders, so he still had close to 40,000 after the hand. And the table is quite happy to keep Green around for the last level of the night. His enormously augmented paramour has been sitting a few feet away watching every hand for the last six hours, and they've all been sitting there watching her.
