Ace High Is Good For DVT

Level 17: 3,000 / 6,000 ante: 6,000

Catching the action on a board showing K♦ 8♦ 4♣ 8♣ T♥ and a big pot in the middle, Xinhong Chen checks then faces a bet of 65,000 from Van Tien Dinh. Chen tanks for some time then finally calls. Dinh flips open A♣ 9♣ and it's good with Chen mucking. Needless to say, the table was shocked. DVT later told SMP that Chen may have had Queen-high.
