Chan Drills the River to Double
Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Johnn Chan was heads-up from the cutoff against a lone player in the big blind on a flop of 5♠4♥6♥.
It was checked to Chan and he shoved for approximately 23,000 total. His opponent called after a bit of deliberation and a showdown was held.
Johnny Chan: A♠J♠
Opponent: Q♠4♠
Chan was in trouble and had one foot out the door on the 6♣ turn, however, the J♥ river bailed Chan out — pairing his jack for the much-needed double up.
