Zhao Straightens Out Chen

RazorSharpPro

Level 4 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

We caught the action on the flop in a 3-way hand between James Chen, Hongjun Zhao and Dan ‘leisure wear’ Smith on a flop of just as Chen fired out a bet of 8,000.

Both Zhao and Smith made the call to keep the action 3-way to the turn and Chen fired again, this time for 20,000. Zhao thought it over for a bit and made the call and Smith bowed out to take play heads-up to the river.

Chen moved nearly all the rest of his stack into the middle for a bet of a little under 30,000, keeping back a single 500 chip, which is sitting on top of his cards.
Zhao called pretty quickly and Chen turned over which was not enough to beat Zhao’s straight.
