Tian Chen opened with a raise to 20,000 from the button and David Steicke made the call from the big blind.

The flop came down {9-Clubs}

{9-Clubs}

{8-Hearts}

{6-Clubs}

and Steicke led out for 40,000. Chen thought for a moment before moving all in. It was around 160,000 to Steicke and he decided to make the call tabling {Q-Clubs}

{Q-Clubs}

{8-Spades}

for just middle pair! It proved to be another great call as Chen revealed {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{10-Hearts}

for just ace high.

The {8-Clubs}

{8-Clubs}

on the turn was a great card for Steicke giving him trips and a flush draw to reduce Chen to just a non-club seven to survive. Amazingly the {7-Diamonds}

{7-Diamonds}

landed, giving Chen the miracle straight to double up!

Chen now sits with 420,000 with Steicke falling to 270,000.
