All Korea, All the Time

The Koreans are at the top of the counts after another big pot was pushed to Michael Chang. He raised to 22,000 from the cutoff and was called by Lee Nelson in the small blind and Van Marcus in the big blind. All three players checked on a flop of {9-Spades}

. When the turn came {4-Diamonds}

, Nelson led out for 40,000. It took Marcus close to a minute to fold; he spent the time glancing back and forth from Nelson to Chang. After he folded, Chang made the call.

The river fell {6-Spades}

to put a possible flush on the board. Nelson checked to Chang, who didn't waste much time before betting 90,000. It became Nelson's turn to spend some time in the tank. He seemed to be debating a call with a weak jack. Finally, he sighed and folded.

After the hand, Nelson turned to Marcus and confirmed that he did indeed fold a jack.
