Battle of the Chen’s
Level 8
: 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
We caught a blind on blind confrontation between small blind Canlin Chen and big blind Pete Chen and picked up the action on a flop of 
which Canlin led for 8,500.
Pete made the call and the 
turn paired the board and brought another bet from Canlin, this one a little larger 15,500. Pete took a bit longer over his decision this time but made the call and the 
river completed the hand.
Canlin fired a third barrel, this one for 25,000 and Pete shrugged and made the call. Canlin turned over 
and while he had Pete’s 
dominated pre-flop, post-flop Pete had the best hand and raked in the pot to climb to 200,000 while Canlin dropped to 80,500.
