Escobar Puts Hong to the Test
Level 1
: Blinds 100/100, 100 ante
Sungwook Hong raised in first position to 300, and Isaac Escobar three-bet to 1,200. The rest of the table moved out of the way, and Hong made the call. The flop showed up with J♣5♠K♦, and Hong checked, with Escobar putting in 800. Hong pulled the check-raise and bet 3,300. Escobar smooth called.
On the turn 2♥, Hong led out for 6,000, and without much hesitation, Escobar moved all in for 26,000 more.
Hong debated the call for a while, requesting more time, and then stated, "Well, I can flip my cards over." As the dealer was saying no, Hong flipped over A♣K♣ for top pair, but his hand was mucked. Escobar scooped a nice pot.
