Best Hand Folds, then Next Best Hand Folds: Pot to Wai Leong Chan
A fiveway limped pot – “not something you normally see on a final table,” as commentator James Dempsey noted, ended up with a pot going to Wai Leong Chan after he turned his second pair into a bluff on the river.
A flop of [qcAs6s] saw four checks to cutoff Stephen Chidwick who bet 75,000 holding [Ac9d], called by under the gun first limper Jiang Xia He with [AhTs] and his neighbour Wai Leong Chan with [KcQh].
The turn brought the [7h] and two checks to Chidwick, who bet 175,000. He folded his bigger ace; Leong Chan made the call.
The river: [9s]. Now Wai Leong Chan led out for 475,000, turning his pair of queens into a bluff. After spending a timebank card, Chidwick folded.
