Naets Escapes With a Chop; Molina Doubles

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

The open-shove by Sylvain Naets had Ren Lin on the button interested but he ended up folding. Benjamin Chalot in the big blind asked for a count and then called after some 20 seconds.

Sylvain Naets: {a-Clubs}{3-Clubs}
Benjamin Chalot: {a-Hearts}{q-Spades}

"Why are you waiting?" Naets asked and was rather stunned. His dominated ace earned a lucky split pot on the {j-Hearts}{j-Spades}{7-Spades}{k-Clubs}{j-Clubs} runout to stay in contention.

Soon after, Chalot three-bet and called the four-bet all-in of Federico Molina for 16,900.

Federico Molina: {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}
Benjamin Chalot: {6-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}

The {10-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{2-Clubs} board improved Molina on the turn and river while Ren Lin stated "you gamble too much" to big stack Chalot.
