Chen Extends His Lead
Robert Williamson III completed with a up, and Tommy Chen made it two bets showing the same . Williamson made the call, and they'd go all the way to showdown.
Williamson: (X)(X) / / (X)
Chen: (X)(X) / / (X)
Chen continued out with another bet on fourth street, and Williamson called. That reversed with Williamson leading the betting on fifth, and Chen check-called a bet on sixth with both men showing a pair. On seventh, the action slowed with Chen squeezing slowly and checking. Williamson squeezed too, but he liked what he saw good enough to bet it. Chen snuck in a check-raise, though, and it got Williamson mumbling to himself. We heard the words, "Two-three-four," among muttering, and he eventually added, "Here!" and splashed the last bet into the pot.
Chen showed / for the seven-low, and Williamson riffled his cards in between his hands. He flashed that on the way into the muck, and that's a pretty nice pot to Chen's corner. It pushes him up to about 760,000, while Williamson drops back down around 400,000. He's still in second place, but that gap has widened considerably.
