George Given Serious Pause

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Chris George called a bet of 60,000 from an opponent in the small blind on a {k-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{j-Hearts} flop. The turn brought the {a-Clubs} and George faced a much bigger barrel of 235,000. He tanked for about two minutes.

"I think I'm folding the best hand," he finally said, sliding the dealer his cards.
