Ernest Raises the River
Level 7
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Kimitaka Mori opened 2,500 under the gun and Michael Ernest called from a couple of spots to his left.
The dealer fanned a flop of A♦J♥J♣, and Mori continued for 2,200. Ernest called.
The 9♠ fell on the turn, and Mori dropped 5,500 across the line. Ernest stuck around as he tossed in a call.
When the 7♥ completed the board on the river, Mori pushed a green chip across the line for a bet of 25,000. Ernest put in a raise to 55,000, putting Mori in the tank for about two minutes before his cards hit the muck.
"Good fold," Ernest said as he pitched his cards into the muck.
