Suzuki Finds a Call
Level 19
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 0 ante
No-Limit Hold'em
Ryutaro Suzuki opened to 20,000 from early position and was called by Nai Hu in the big blind.
Hu checked on a flop of 10♦4♣J♦ and then raised to 43,000 after Suzuki continued for 18,000. Suzuki gave it some thought but did make the call.
The turn came 3♠ and, with little hesitation, Hu moved all in for 211,000, sending Suzuki into the tank. After a while, he did end up making the call with the covering stack to put his opponent at risk.
Nai Hu: K♦9♦
Ryutaro Suzuki: Q♣10♥
Suzuki was ahead with his pair but would need to fade a significant number of outs. He was able to do so after the river was a blank to score a large pot along with the knockout.
