Choi Forces a Fold
Level 6
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
From middle position, Yoon Choi started the action with 1,700 and got two callers in Justin Smith and Allen Patatanyan. Steven Merwin, on the button, went beyond and made it 9,000. Choi called while Smith and Patatanyan folded.
The flop came Q♣J♦9♥ and both players checked through the turn 4♥. On the river 6♣, Choi fired 20,000, which was enough to make Merwin fold.
