Ten-high Good for Choi

Level 8 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Jian Zhang and Kevin Choi have just played a big pot for stacks that saw Zhang hit the rail and Choi chip up to over 400,000 – with ten-high.

That’s not quite a crazy as it seems, but it’s still pretty sick. The two got all the chips in on an {a-Clubs}{4-}{8-Clubs} flop with Zhang holding {6-Clubs}{7-Clubs} and Choi holding {10-Clubs}{2-Clubs}. Those ten-deuces have been hitting today, as Ka Ho Sun can attest too, and ironically the Hong Kong player had a ringside seat as he is seated at the same table.

As you can probably tell from the title of this post, neither player hit the flush, meaning Choi’s ten-high was good and he climbed to 400,000 while a disgruntled Zhang headed for the rail.

“That’s why you should play big cards when you go for flush draws,” said tablemate Thomas Lee, and while we agree that’s sound strategy, if everyone did that then we would not have exciting hands like this to write about.
