Chips for Chan

Johnny Chan opened with a raise before the flop, an opponent reraised all in for about 50,000 total. Chan made the call, showing {7-Clubs}{7-Hearts}. His opponent tabled {5-Hearts}{5-Spades}.

The flop came {7-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}, furthering Chan's advantage. The {5-Clubs} on the turn gave his opponent a set, too, and elicited an "ooh" from the crowd watching here at the main feature table. The {4-Diamonds} river provoked a reaction as well, but didn't alter the fact that Chan's hand was best.

Chan now has 648,000.
