Liu Calls Jewell's Bluff

Level 1 : 50/75, 0 ante

When we reached the table, the board read {3-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{7-Spades}{j-Clubs}. Kurt Jewell had 3,300 sitting in front of him, and JJ Liu, who finished runner-up in the 2007 WPT Bay 101 Shooting Stars, tanked for quite some time before calling.

Jewell ripped over {5-Hearts}{4-Hearts} like it was the absolute nuts, prompting Liu to stand up and examine the hand. Finally, after 20 seconds or so, she realized that it was just five-high, and showed {9-Spades}{8-Spades} for a pair of eights.
