Chih Wei Fan Becomes a Contender for the Chip Lead

Chih Wei Fan

The hand starts in the old level but develops into a massive pot in which Chih Wei Fan becomes one of the largest stacks near the money bubble.

According to Kyle Diep, a button raise is called by Joe Chen in the small blind and Fan three-bets in the big blind for Chen to call. On a flop, Chen check-raises and calls a three-bet to see the turn when a straight and second flush draw become available.

Chen checks and Fan jams for 155,500 into a pot of more than 200,00,000. That is covered by Chen and he makes the call.

Fan needs a seven to scoop the massive pot but the river is a blank as Fan doubles in a massive pot.

Fan also wins the next pot off Renato Villanueva with two barrels.

Chih Wei Fan – 550,000
Renato Villanueva – 220,000
Joe Chen – 70,000
