Yoo Loses On The River

Jesse Fullen

Level 23 : 12,000/24,000, 24,000 ante

Facing a raise to 80,000 from Terry Fleischer in the cutoff, Austin Yoo announced he was all in for 800,000 in the small blind position.

Action folded back around to Fleischer, who had to make a decision for his tournament life. After a few moments of consideration, Fleischer called off and cards were turned over.

Austin Yoo:
Terry Fleischer:

The flop gave Fleischer two more outs with a gutshot straight draw. The turn continued to give Yoo hope that he was about to nearly double his stack but the river gave Fleischer top pair and the win.

The entire table erupted with emotion at the suck out that had just occurred.

"I even folded a jack," muttered another player as Fleischer stacked his new chips and Yoo sat with his jaw still dropped.
