Jo Continues to Soar on Day 1b

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Darryl Jo
Darryl Jo

Darryl Jo opened to 4,000 from the cutoff and the big blind shoved for 24,000 and Jo snap-called.

Big Blind: {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs}
Darryl Jo: {a-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}

The big blind was relieved that Jo didn't turn over aces but her jubilance would be short-lived as the flop came {j-Clubs}{8-Spades}{10-Hearts}.

Though she could win with a queen or a king, the {10-Diamonds} came on the turn and the {a-Spades} arrived on the river and Jo chipped up to around 150,000.
