Level 32
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Mitchell Smith raised 750,000 in early position and Pete Chen called on the button before Brian Frenzel jammed for 3,375,000 in the small blind. Smith went deep into the tank before sigh folding and Chen asked for 20 seconds to make a decision. Eventually, Chen called and both hands were revealed.
Brian Frenzel: A♦10♠
Pete Chen: 7♥7♠
It was a race as the board ran out 8♥6♠3♠5♦Q♥, for Chen's sevens to hold. Smith let out a cry as the river hit, claiming to have folded ace-queen which would have won the hand.
