Chen Makes Huge Backraise Shove on the River, Stacks Matin
Level 16
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
On a full board of 2♣Q♦3♥K♣4♥, there were around 70,000 chips in the pot when Andrej Tekel bet 7,000 on the river and Zhen Chen called. Kianoosh Matin then put in a sizable raise to 59,000, which Tekel called. Chen was next to act and to the surprise of the entire table, he back-raised all-in covering both opponents.
"Wow! Ace-five?" asked Matin, who had around 350,000 behind and had to consider Tekel still to act.
"This could be the sickest bluff I've ever seen," said Matin, who eventually called after a few minutes of deliberation. Tekel didn't have much of a decision and laid his hand down given the action in front.
Chen then revealed top set with K♦K♠, and Matin's smaller set with 4♦4♣ was no good, which meant he was eliminated.
