Johnny Chan in the House
Johnny Chan is one of the game’s greats and is another Day 2A new entrant and is a man who should need no introduction but we’ll give him one anyway. The two-time World Series of Poker Main Event champion and ten-time bracelet winner has not long taken his seat over on table seven and has just posted his big blind.
Macau’s Sam Cheong does not seem scared about raising the poker legend’s big blind and he opened to 2,800 from the cutoff and the action folded around to small blind Victor Chong.
The Malaysian player thought long and hard about it, and the re-raised to 10,600 in total and the action was on Chan, who folded immediately. With the action back on Cheong he reached for chips and splashed out a huge stack of blue 5,000 chips making it 100,000 to go and Chong quickly let it go.
