Chestnut Bailed Out on the River
Level 33
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Derek Childress raised to 600,000 under the gun with A♣4♠ before Coleem Chestnut three-bet to 2,500,000 in the small blind with 7♠5♦. Childress flashed his ace as he folded.
Chestnut then raised to 700,000 in the cutoff and Lingyu Zen called in the big blind.
The flop came J♠5♠9♠ and Chestnut bet 1,500,000. Zen called to see the 10♠ turn, where Chestnut bet another 2,600,000. Zen again called.
Both players checked down the 4♠ river, and Chestnut showed K♥K♣. "I had you cracked," Zen said, turning over 5♥5♦ for a flopped set as they chopped the pot with the flush on board.
"Talk about running good," Childress added.
