Chen Knocks Out Petitti
Dong Chen opened to 11,000 preflop and Hong Wei Yu made the call as well as Nicholas Petitti, which put him all in.
Chen and Yu checked all the way to the 7?K?Q?8?A? river, but then Yu exposed A?10? before Chen had a chance to act.
Chen then bet 25,000 and Yu quickly folded.
"Well, that's probably not good for you," Tablemate Eric Wasserson said to Petitti as they waited for the other table to finish, "If you can't beat ace-ten, you are in bad shape, there is no reason for him to bluff, no side pot."
"I have straight," Chen told Petitti, who did not look too happy to hear that. When the floor came over the two tabled their cards. Nicholas Petitti showed A?10? for the same hand as Yu but then Dong Chen tabled 6?9? for the bottom straight on the river to win the pot, eliminating Petitti near the bubble.
