Chen Turns a Straight to Crush Dawson's Top Set
Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
With around 10,000 chips in the middle on a board of J?10?5?7?, David Dawson bet 7,000 and Lin Chen shover for almost 22,000. Dawson didn't need to think for too long before he announced a call.
Lin Chen: 9?8? 
David Dawson: J?J?
Chen had turned the nuts and needed to fade the board pairing on the river to double up, as Dawson had top set. The K? river was clean for Chen, who earned a stack of around 55,000, as Chen dropped to 10,000.
