Chen Calls Three Barrels
Level 19
: 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Valery Yantsevich opened the cutoff to 32,000 and only Pete Chen got involved, defending his big blind.
The flop fell 
and Chen check-called Yantsevich's 30,000 continuation bet. The 
turn saw more of the same, with Chen check-calling 50,000 this time.
When the 
came on the river, Chen checked for the last time and Yantsevich made it a round 100,000 to get to showdown. It was a quick call from Chen and Yantsevich threw his cards into the muck, giving Chen a boost to his stack.
