Zidek Questions Chen
Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Alexander Norden opened to 2,000 from the cutoff and Yuhang Chen three-bet from the small blind to 6,000. Patrik Zidek called from the big blind, and Norden folded.
The dealer put out a flop of 6?5?7? where Chen make a 3,500-chip continuation-bet, which Zidek called pretty quickly.
A 6? on the turn saw both players tap the table to see the 3? drop on the river. Chen reached for chips and fired out 7,000, which gave Zidek a tough decision.
"This is very difficult, do you have queens?" asked Zidek, who eventually folded.
Chen offered up one card to his opponent and Zidek picked the J?.
"Did you have jacks?" Zidek asked. Chen didn't say anything, but did give a nod as he continued to stack the chips.
