Turner Loses a Bit, But he Can Afford it

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Jon Turner put in a three-bet to 8,800 against the early-position opener. It folded back to the player who tossed in the call.

The flop fell and the player check-called as Turner continued for 7,500.

The turn and river both checked through with the player showing for top pair and Turner mucked.

Despite losing the hand, Turner remains among the bigger stacks in the room, sitting with nearly 300,000.
