Jin Ju Gathers Chips and Fans

An unknown player from middle position opened with a raise to 250 preflop and Jin Ju was the lone caller from late position.

The two took a flop of {Q-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{8-Spades} and the action checked to Jin Ju who fired a bet of 1,000. Her opponent made the call.

The turn landed the {A-Spades} and the middle-position player moved all in for about 2,000. Jin Ju made an ambitious call, tabling pocket sixes, only to find herself up against the A-T of her opponent. However, she must have had a feeling that the river would land the {6-Diamonds} to spike one of the two remaining sixes in the deck to eliminate her opponent.

The very next hand, Jin Ju called an all-in bet from a short-stacked opponent holding A-5 against K-J, only to see the board run out {5-Spades}{A-Spades}{5-Hearts}{10-Spades}{7-Hearts} to send another player home. Jin Ju has gathered a nice crowd on the rail and is going strong with around 15,000 chips to be amongst our early chip leaders.
