Tides Turn in Moon's Favor
Level 11
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Dongwuk Moon opened to 5,000 before the small blind jammed for 28,500. Moon wasn't too thrilled at the situation but made the call.
Small Blind: K♥10♦
Dongwuk Moon: 9♣8♥
The small blind was ahead and remained in front after pairing up on the A♦10♥2♣ flop. The small blind called for a seven to give Moon a sweat but the 6♦ turn peeled off instead to give Moon a gutshot straight draw.
A seven would now give Moon the straight and the small blind tried to rescind his previous statement. However, the 7♣ river completed the board to give Moon the winner.
There were smiles and laughs all around throughout the hand with many "wows," being uttered when the cards went on their back.
"You're a legend, you have to call," said a tablemate after the hand.
