Correa Calls Cook for Chop

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

There was 21,000 in the middle with a board reading J94J and early position player James Cook bet out for 12,000. His only opponent in the hand, Jacques Correa Ortega, didn't take too long before calling.

The river 7 completed the board, and Cook didn't slow down, as he chucked in a green T-25,000 chip. Correa Ortega went deep into the tank, taking about four minutes to come to a decision. Eventually, he stuck in the call.

Cook showed J10 for trips, and Correa Ortega triumphantly slammed down J10 as the two chopped the pot.
