Bjorin Bites Chen

[user66118]

Level 22 : 12,000/24,000, 3,000 ante

We picked up the action on fourth street as Robert Williamson folds to leave Tommy Chen and Chris Bjorin heads up.

Chen: (X)(X) / {a-} {q-} {2-} {8-} / (X)
Bjorin: (X)(X) / {3-} {10-} {q-} {4-} / (X)

Bjorin was the bettor on fourth street, and Chen's raise gave him control. Bjorin called the raise, and he called bets on fifth, sixth, and seventh streets, too.

At showdown, Chen surrendered with a sigh and a, "You win." He spun his {8-} {5-} {a-} onto the felt for a queen-low. Bjorin showed up {8-} {7-} {5-} , and the eighty-seven earns him the pot. After that shakedown, Chen is down to about 680,000 while Bjorin pushes up to about 360,000.
