Hong Left Short
Level 3
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
A player in the cutoff had a bet of 3,000 in front of him and was facing a raise to 9,000 by Jinho Hong on the button. After some consideration the cutoff player called to send the two heads-up to the flop.
The cutoff checked after the ![]()
![]()
flop and then called when Hong continued for 6,000.
Action checked through the
turn to the
river. The cutoff, unconcerned that there was a four liner to a straight flush on the board, tossed out 12,600. Hong thought long and hard but eventually made the call. The cutoff somewhat sheepishly turned over ![]()
for the flush. Hong could not beat it, sending his chip count down below half starting stack.
