Tough Break for Cha

[user75032]

Jimmy Cha may be regretting the line he took in a recent hand against Hyoungjiin Nam and another opponent. With the button, Cha raised to 1,500 after Nam and the third player limped in. They both called, then checked the {8-Clubs}

{8-Clubs}

{6-Hearts}

{9-Diamonds}

flop to him. Cha bet 2,000; only Nam called. Both players checked through the {10-Hearts}

{10-Hearts}

turn. Khow checked a third time when the board paired with a river card of {6-Spades}

{6-Spades}

. Cha counted out 3,500 and pushed it into the middle; Nam snap-called. Cha turned top pair with {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{10-Spades}

, but it was no good against Nams {J-Clubs}

{J-Clubs}

{J-Spades}

.

Cha was left with 5,200 chips. Khow now has a touch more than 30,000.
