Cao Milks Cho for a Boost
Jaegeol Cho in cutoff started the action with a 240,000 raise and got a three-bet from small blind Jimmy Young to 600,000. Big blind Yuanzhi Cao four-bet shove all-in for 670,000.
While Cho was considering his options and counting his chips, Young already separated the 70,000 he needed to call Cao's all-in. He was so surprised that Cho announced all-in for 1,850,000 that he exclaimed "M****rf****r!"
Young went into the tank so long that clock had to be called. Clock ran out with his hand considered dead leaving the other two players to head to showdown.
Yuanzhi Cao: 10♣10♦
Jaegeol Cho: A♣J♣
The board ran 3♦4♠6♣5♥Q♥ with neither an ace or jack in sight. After watching the hand for 6 minutes, the table wondered if Young could have eliminated Cao by calling. Cao was quite happy Young didn't call as the dealer pushed the huge pot towards his direction.
