Joo Gets Away Cheaply

[user75032]

Ree Guh Joo limped in from early position, then called a raise to 1,200. He and his opponent took the {8-Clubs}

{8-Clubs}

{2-Hearts}

{Q-Hearts}

flop heads up. Joo checked it over to the preflop raiser, who bet 1,500. Joo made the call. His opponent got gun shy when a {K-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

hit the turn; he checked behind after Joo checked. It was "second verse, same as the first" on the river {10-Spades}

{10-Spades}

. Joo showed {7-Clubs}

{7-Clubs}

{8-Spades}

for a pair of eights, but it was no good against his opponent's {J-Hearts}

{J-Hearts}

{J-Clubs}

.

Joo lost 2,700 chips on the hand, dropping him to 15,400.
