Oh's Check-Raise Fails

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

Je Wook Oh was under the gun on a board of {9-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{q-Clubs}, and he raised to 5,150 after Angel Lopez bet 1,725 in middle position. Lopez thought awhile and then pulled back in his original bet, indicating he was at least calling. Lopez dropped in 11,000, and Oh tanked a couple of minutes and mucked his hand before racking up his remaining chips and heading to the new table he'd been assigned.
