Heads Up Takes Two Hands

Bill Chen wins a small pot after a raise from the button and a small bet on the flop.  This gives him a slight lead over Nath Pizzolatto.

On the second heads-up hand, Pizzolatto limps on the button and Chen raises from the big blind another $25,000.  Pizzolatto calls and both players see a Jclub7spade5spade flop.  Chen leads out for $40,000 and Nath immediately calls.  The 10heart brings a check from both players.  Chen leads at the 9diamond river for $70,000.  Pizzolatto quickly makes it $200,000 and before he can finish the announcement Chen pushes all-in.  Pizzolatto asks, "Really?  Ok, I call."  Pizzolatto turns over 6-8 for a straight, but Chen tables Kclub-Qdiamond for the nut straight.

Bill Chen has won his second bracelet at this year's World Series of Poker.  He will take home the bracelet and $442,511.  Nath Pizzolatto will win $238,280 for 2nd place.
