Chen Forces a Fold

Level 3 : 200/400, 400 ante

James Chen opened for 900 from the lojack and was called by the cutoff and the button. The player in the small blind then squeezed to 3,700 and only Chen called.

Both players checked on the {2-Diamonds}{a-Spades}{8-Clubs} flop and the small blind checked again on the {a-Diamonds} turn — prompting an 11,000 bet from Chen. His opponent called.

Chen was checked to a final time on the {j-Clubs} river and he fired 20,500 into the middle.

"You do have cowboys beat, right?" Chen's opponent asked. Chen remained silent.

"I'm gonna lay 'em down."

He then folded face down — conceding the pot to Chen.
