Porter Pressing
Level 26
: 30,000/60,000, 7,000 ante
Rep Porter called for the minimum 10,000 with a up, and Tommy Chen raised with a . Porter called.
Porter: (X)(X) / / (X)
Chen: (X)(X) / / (X)
Chen check-called a bet on fourth street, and he led out with one of his own on fifth. On sixth, he check-called again, and he checked one more time on seventh. Porter checked behind, and Chen showed up for the jack-low. Porter liked that, and his was good enough to make the winning ten-eight.
That loss knocks Chen all the way back to 540,000 and into the basement; it's a spot he's not had to get used to in this event. Until now.
