Chen Essentially Doubles Through Velador
Nível 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.
