Mendoza Let's Go of the Best Hand
Level 26
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Marius Gierse raised to 400,000 in middle position with 10♥9♦ and James Mendoza defended from the big blind with Q♣J♠. The flop came A♦Q♥8♥ and Medoza checked to Gierse who bet 300,000 with his straight draw. Mendoza called and the 4♠ landed on the turn.
Mendoza checked again and Gierse sized up a bet of 800,000 on the turn. Mendoza gave it some thought but decided to throw his pair and the best hand into the muck.
