Chen Essentially Doubles Through Velador
Level 26
: Limits 120,000/240,000, 0 ante
Luis Velador raised with the K?Q?9?8? and Ben Lamb called in the big blind with the A?10?3?3?. The 7?5?2? flop was checked by Velador, who then folded to a bet by Lamb with the nut low and wheel draw at that time.
Soon after that, James Chen raised his smaller stack out of the small blind with the A?A?4?4? and Velador defended the K?Q?9?3?. The 9?7?2? flop saw Chen bet and Velador call as the same action repeated on the 2? turn. Chen only had 45,000 behind to the 4? river and moved all-in.
Velador had huge pot odds but couldn't call, thus denying Chen a full double but dropping behind him on the leaderboard.
