Colossus Table Talk

Level 3 : 100/200, 200 ante
WSOP 2019
WSOP 2019

The big field no limit tournaments at the WSOP bring out all manner of poker players. Young and old, male and female, all are together under one roof to play poker.

Walking around the tables, there is an atmosphere unlike any other. Here is a taste of what you get to hear:

"I guarantee you're a lover of jacks when you get it all-in against tens or less"

"This guy's the mean guy at the table; he's got a 25,000 chip down there!"

"Ahh, the obligatory button raise I see! I call."

"I play in a home game where the players are surprisingly good."

"Alright, let's dance. I need a straight."

"I just folded pocket nines. Couldn't be bothered."

Ho's Two-Pair Better, Eliminates Opponent

Level 3 : 100/200, 200 ante

Tsz Ho opened for 700 from early position, action folded to the button player who three-bet to 1,600 and was called by Ho.

Ho checked the {4-Spades}{8-Clubs}{k-Diamonds} flop to his opponent who bet 2,100 and Ho quickly three-bet to 7,100. Ho's opponent then four-bet to 14,000 and after careful consideration Ho called.

Both players got their chips in the middle after the {j-Diamonds} turn and tabled their hands.

Tsz Ho: {k-Hearts}{4-Hearts}
Opponent: {q-Clubs}{j-Clubs}

Ho's opponent hit two-pair with the {q-Spades} river but that was second best to Ho as he raked in the pot.
