An Early Preflop All in
Level 3
: 100/200, 25 ante
We found Young Ki Choi with 17,000 in front of him on the button, facing an all-in shove for 28,875 by a player in the big blind. According to a third player at the table, action began with a preflop open to 525, a call and then a raise to 2,000 by Choi. The big blind made it 7,000 and Choi responded with his five-bet. Choi wound up calling after some thought.
Choi: 
Big blind: 
"One time," the big blind requested.
It looked good for him after the 
flop, but the 
turn made things hairy as Choi picked up a flush draw. He hit the 
on the river to pair up for the win instead.
"I didn't put you on aces or kings because I had the blockers," Choi said.
