Cada Loses Monster Pot

Joe Cada opened to 42,000 from under the gun and was called by Tom Chambers in the hijack and Valentyn Shabelnyk in the big blind.

The flop came {Q-Hearts}{7-Spades}{2-Spades} and Shabelnyk checked. Cada continued out for 82,000 and Chambers threw out a call. Shabelnyk mucked and we were heads up to the turn.

Fourth street was the {10-Spades} and Cada checked. Chambers bet 200,000 and Cada called to see the {7-Clubs} fall on the river. Cada checked his option for a second time and Chambers waited a moment before moving 300,000 into the middle.

Cada announced a call and showed {A-Diamonds}{Q-Spades} but was behind the queens and tens of Chambers' {Q-Clubs}{10-Clubs}.

This hand was a huge hit to Cada, who began the day as the chip leader and is now sitting on 650,000.
