Chen Hits Runner-Runner to Leave Velador on Fumes
Level 26
: Limits 120,000/240,000, 0 ante
Ben Lamb raised with the A?K?6?5? on the button and was called by James Chen with the Q?Q?9?6?, Luis Velador also came along with the K?K?5?2? out of the big blind. They checked the 8?8?3? flop which led them to the J? turn, as Chen picked up a straight and flush draw.
Chen checked and Velador bet, forcing a reluctant fold from Lamb. Chen called and hit the 10? on the river for his straight.
Chen bet and Velador snap-called to see his stack reduced to fumes.
