Jokura Gets Aggressive
Leo Jokura and an opponent were heads-up on the river with the board showing K♦4♥9♦9♣7♠ when the big blind bet 10,000. Jokura then moved all in on the button.
His opponent, with around 30,000 remaining, tanked for several minutes until the clock was called. "You don't have trips, man. Just fold your king-queen," Jokura told him, and the big blind eventually tossed his cards into the muck.
The next hand, an early-position player limped in and Jokura raised to 2,500 in the cutoff. The big blind called, as did the original limper as they went three-handed to the J♥8♥3♣ flop.
The early-position player then bet 1,500 and only Jokura called. Both players checked the 3♦ turn and Jokura bet 7,000 on the A♥ river. His opponent folded and Jokura took another pot.
