Chen Snaps River to Extend Lead
Level 8
: 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
There was over 60,000 in the middle of the table in a heads-up pot between chip leader Jiang Chen and opponent Wei Zheng, with the action picked up on the river on a board reading 
.
Zheng had fired out a bet after the last card, hit, with Chen calling so quickly it was impossible to determine the amount of the bet size. Chen was clearly confident in his read, tabling 
before Zheng could reveal his hand, with the latter forlornly pitching his cards into the muck, meaning the rich get richer.
