Cortazar Pays Ju Off
Level 26
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Samuel Ju opened to 100,000 in the cutoff. Xavier Cortazar looked down at his cards in the big blind and called.
Ju tossed in another 100,000 on the 3♠K♥7♠ flop. Cortazar check-called, after which both checked the 6♦ turn.
The 4♠ river completed the board. Cortazar led out for 50,000 but was raised to 150,000 by Ju. Cortazar spent one time bank before calling with J♦7♣, but his hero-call proved fruitless as Ju had rivered a straight with A♥5♦.
