Chien Finds a Timely Double-Up
Level 9
: 400/800, 100 ante
We got to the table just as the dealer was shipping Peter Chien a nice pot after doubling up.
The board read 
and Chien had 11,000 in front of him, with about 13,000 in the pot already. Chien held 
for a pair of aces with a queen kicker and his opponent, William Blais, mucked his hand and paid the bet.
Chien now sits on 35,000 and avoided sending his expensive bounty across the table for now.
