Chamas Calls Light

Nível 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Hyunseok Oh limped the small blind before Rayan Chamas raised from the big blind to 1,500. Oh called and they were off to a flop.

The K♥7♠9♠ flop landed and the action checked to Chamas who continued for 1,300. Oh called.

The 9♦ quickly checked through to a 6♥ river.

Oh wasted little time before leading out for a bet of 2,500. Chamas sat in the tank for almost two minutes before he finally flicked in a call.

Oh gave him the nod to let him know he was good before he tabled J♠8♠ for a missed combo draw. Chamas tabled A♦7♣ for third pair and scooped.
