Zen Hits a Miracle to Catch Up With Chestnut
Level 32
: Blinds 150,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Coleem Chestnut raised to 500,000 in middle position and was called by Robert Hwang and Lingyu Zen in the blinds.
The flop came 4♥K♦3♦ and Chestnut bet 1,500,000. Hwang folded, while Zen moved all in for 5,450,000. Chestnut snap-called.
Lingyu Zen: K♥Q♠
Coleem Chestnut: A♥K♠
Both players had flopped top pair, while Chestnut was ahead with his ace-kicker and poised to bring the night to a close. The turn, though, brought the Q♣ to give Zen two pair. The river was the 6♥, and Zen doubled up.
"Come from behind again? I've come from behind like five times. I'm the worst player," Zen said.
