Chung and Workman Edging Towards Half a Million Apiece

Niveau 14 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Pavillion Black has its own newly ascendant big stacks, among them Samkyu Chung. A neighbour of his asked, "Can you just say "a dumptruck load of chips?" for him?" as his 460,000 dwarfs the nearest stack on his table.

His most recent acquisition was a pot of 40,000, won from the small blind. Chung raised to 7,000 in late position, called by the small blind. No bet followed the flop, but Chung bet when it was checked to him on the turn - 13,000. His opponent made the call. Both players checked the river, the small blind showing for a turned pair of nines, but Chung the for a better pair hit on the river.
