Steven Cho Crippled, then Eliminated in 20th Place ($6,055)

Steven Cho - 20th Place
Steven Cho - 20th Place
Jason Young, Steven Cho, and Alex Bolotin saw a three-way limped flop. It came {K-Hearts} {9-Spades} {7-Clubs}. Continuing the trend of passiveness, all three men checked.

The turn card was the {3-Clubs}. Young checked, Cho bet out 10,000, and Bolotin put in a raise to 40,000. That was enough to get Young out, but Cho hung around, calling the additional 30,000.

The last card off was the {2-Diamonds}. Cho checked, allowing Bolotin to bet 92,500. After a minute of consideration, Cho made the call for nearly his entire stack. Bolotin showed down {3-Hearts} {3-Diamonds}, having turned his set. Cho slid his cards into the muck, while his stack did some sliding too, all the way back to just 10,000.

A short time later, the rest of Cho's chips went in holding {Q-Hearts} {10-Hearts}. This time, Frank Vizza looked him up, tabling {A-Diamonds} {J-Hearts}. The community cards ran {4-Diamonds} {8-Clubs} {J-Spades} {10-Clubs} {7-Spades}, and Vizza's pair of jacks was the top hand. He delivered the final blow to Steven Cho, headed out in 20th place.
