Hook Plays It Slow
Level 18
: 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Kayhan Mokri opened to 80,000 from under the gun, finding a lone call from Charles Hook in the big blind.
Hook checked the Q♥8♥Q♦ flop, making the call when Morki continued for 55,000. Another check from Hook followed the J♠ turn, and Morki fired a bet of 220,000.
Hook made another call and checked one last time on the 2♥ river. Mokri did not take long to check back, and Hook tabled Q♠3♠ for trip queens.
"Good check," said Hook as he collected the pot.
