After check-raising on the flop Jon Christensen open-shoved on the turn with the board reading {J-Diamonds}

David Woo sat in the tank for near on six minutes before laying his hand down.

Once he finally mucked he commented, "Man, I just don't think you'd make the same dumb play again, or I would've called."

"You can't call the player dumb," sparked the dealer.

"Oh, no I was saying the play he made was dumb," commented Woo as he slipped to 360 while Christensen climbed back to 340,000 in chips.
