Slobodskoy Takes From Guo
Level 23
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
On an immediate pay jump, Jingwei Guo raised to 80,000 from an early position and one of the table short stacks defended the big blind in [Removed:499]. The A♥J♣9♥ flop was checked by Slobodskoy, and Guo continued for 50,000.
What followed was a check-raise to 215,000 with 5,000 behind by Slobodskoy and that did the trick to force a fold.
Right after the hand, Nicholas Schuler was all smiles and said "a pay jump never hurt somebody" as the clock had dropped to 285 remaining players.
