Choi Steamrolling His Table

Level 5 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

Stanley Choi is off to a fast start, playing a part in reducing two nearby opponents below the starting stack.

Dario Sammartino and Max Silver checked out of the blinds on a {j-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{7-Spades} flop, and Choi bet 12,000. Both blinds called. On the {5-Spades} turn, Choi bet 30,000 and only Silver continued, with Sammartino sighing and mucking with some force. Two checks followed a {10-Diamonds} river, and Silver turned over {j-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} for top pair. No good though, as Choi had him outkicked: {q-Spades}{j-Spades}.
