Ju Never Wins When PokerNews is Watching, the Curse Continues
Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
On a board of K♦J♣A♣J♥, there were over 20,000 chips in the middle when both Ion-Silviu Scobai and Samuel Ju checked.
The river brought the 4♦ and Scobai fired out a bet of 12,000, which gave Ju a dilemma.
"I have a really good hand, but I never win when PokerNews is watching. If they weren't here, I'd snap-call," said Ju. After a short time thinking it over, Ju, somewhat reluctantly, dropped in the call.
Scobai then showed Q♥10♥ for a flopped straight, and Ju mucked his hand.
