Chan Takes a Hit

With plenty of attention from media and railbirds, Johnny Chan recently took a hit. He opened preflop for 1,500 from the cutoff, only to see Wah Cheong Wong reraise to 5,000. Action folded back to Chan, who counted down his stack a few times while he mulled his decision. He eventually called, leaving him about 13,000 behind.

Both players checked the {7-Diamonds} {K-Hearts} {9-Diamonds} flop. Chan checked again when the turn came {J-Clubs}. Wong deliberated about thirty seconds before firing out for 7,000. Chan's cards were in the muck before the last of Wong's chips hit the felt.

"Flop that big?" asked Carter Gill with a grin.

Wong shrugged. "I don't know."
