Lonis Takes Big Pot From Chen
Level 23
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
In a heads-up pot with roughly 400,000 in the middle on a board showing K♦J♠8♠A♣, Jesse Lonis bet out 260,000 from under the gun and James Chen made the call from the hijack.
On the 8♥ river Lonis kept up the aggression with a bet of 570,000 and Chen went deep in the tank. After close to a minute of thought, Chen reluctantly folded and the pot was sent to Lonis.
As Lonis scooped in the chips he showed the Q♠ to leave Chen guessing if he made the right decision.
