A Few Chips for Chan

A player in the hijack seat raised to 16,000 and Johnny Chan called from the small blind. The flop came {4-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}{A-Hearts} and both players checked. The turn was the {4-Clubs}. Chan checked, and when his opponent bet 21,000, Chan quickly called. Both then checked the {2-Diamonds} river.

Chan rolled over {Q-Hearts}{10-Hearts} for queens and fours, which was good enough as his opponent mucked. The two-time WSOP Main Event champ and 10-time bracelet winner continues to hover just under 400,000 as the field shrinks below 400 players.
