Chan Rivers a Straight
Wai Leong Chan extends his lead after getting paid on the river by Paul Phua. Chan had led at a [AsJdTd] flop with [7d7c], called by Phua who’d flopped two pair with [JsTh]. Both players checked the [8s] turn, and the [9h] river completed Chan’s straight. Phua faced a river bet of 400,000 and eventually made the call, receiving the bad news with equanimity.
