Chen’s Pair of Queens Good Enough
Level 16
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Action picked up on the turn with WSOP bracelet winner James Chen and Kenny Hallaert involved in a hand with the board showing 3?6?Q?2?.
Hallaert, who was out of position in the hand, bet 55,000. Chen called after a few moments to push the pot to more than 200,000.
The dealer placed 9? on the river, which drew quick checks from both players.
Hallaert tabled A?10? for ace-high, while Chen tabled K?Q? for a pair of queens and the winning hand.
