Just Calling Hurts

"It hurt to just call."
"It hurt to just call."

Joseph Cheong had the button, and raised to 30,000. Aubin Cazals defended, and both players checked after the flop came {3-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{5-Spades}. The turn was the {6-Spades}, and Cazals checked to Cheong who fired 42,000. Cazals check-raised to 130,000, and Cheong called.

The {4-Clubs} completed the board, and Cazals led out for 260,000. Cheong tanked, then called. Cazals tabled {9-Spades}{8-Clubs} for nine-high, and Cheong showed {10-Spades}{7-Spades} for a straight.

"Nice hand, Joe!" one of Cheong's friends shouted.

"It hurt to just call," Cheong replied back.
