Chen’s Ten-ball Shoots Freiburghaus Out
Level 10
: 600/1,200, 200 ante
Taiwan’s Yen 'Pete' Chen and David Freiburghaus got it all in preflop, Freiburghaus moving all in from the small blind for the last of his chips and Chen, who had him easily covered, making the call.
Freiburghaus was the at-risk player but he had the best hand in poker — 
— which unsurprisingly was in front of Chen’s 
.
However, the 
flop hit the table to a cry of “ten-ball!” from Chen. There was no miracle ace on the turn or river and a disgruntled-looking Freiburghaus headed for the rail while Chen stacked up to 145,000.
