Chen Takes in Five-Bet Pot
Level 4
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
James Chen opened to 1,300 from under the gun before Birger Ohl made it 4,500 on his direct left. Action folded back to Chen who reraised to 11,500. Ohl five-bet to 27,000 and after a few moments of thinking, Chen called.
The K♣10♠4♣ flop checked through to the 9♥ turn. Chen led out for 30,000 and Ohl went into the tank. After around two minutes, he made what appeared to be a disciplined fold and Chen scooped in a rare five-bet pot.
WSOP veteran Roland Israelashvvili joined the table as the hand had finished, and has a fresh 100,000 starting stack. Israelashvili has 462 cashes under the WSOP umbrella, which includes 10 circuit rings. However, he has still yet to capture a bracelet.
