Chen Doubles Into the Chip Lead

By July 29, 2024No Comments

Blinds: 150,000/300,000

Ali Akram raised to 600,000, and on the button, Robert Gill reraised to 1,600,000. Yuchen Chen was in the big blind, and he thought for over a minute before he assembled a bet of 4,500,000, and slid it in.

Akram quickly released his hand, but big stack Gill was going nowhere, opting to five-bet shove. Chen thought for just a couple of seconds before calling to create undoubtedly the biggest pot of the tournament so far.

Chen: [Ah][Kh] Gill: [Ad][8c]

Chen was ahead with his dominating kicker, and the king held on the [Qc][10h][2s][9c][Jc], and Chen made broadway on the river to secure a massive double-up. Meanwhile, Gill is now one of the short stacks with 3,500,000.
