# [Chen Finds Check-Jam on Turn](https://blog.texascardhouse.com/trailblazer-season-ii/chen-finds-check-jam-on-turn)

On blinds of 1,500/2,500/2,500, Rabin Gurung opened to 5,000 from the button. Danny Chen was in the small blind and three-bet to 16,000.

Kevin Willis cold-called from the big blind before Gurung closed the action with a call on the button.

The flop came A♣K♥4♣ and action checked through.

Chen checked the board-pairing 4♥ on the turn. Willis led out for 22,500. Gurung folded and Chen announced all-in for 79,500 effective. Willis had 143,000 behind and he went into the tank.

After a few minutes of thought, Willis turned to Chen and said, "friendly game - I'll get the next one." Willis folded and Chen dragged the pot.

65 players remain in the field as they slowly work their way down towards the money bubble at 30.
