Joo Forces a River Fold
Level 1
: Limits 500/1,000, 0 ante
Emery Martindale opened from the cutoff and was called by Ha Ram Joo in the small blind as well as John Elliott in the big blind.
Action checked to Martindale on the 8♥Q♥2♠ flop and he tossed out a bet. Joo called while Elliott folded to send action heads up to the turn.
Both players checked through the 5♦ turn to the 5♠ river at which point Joo took over the betting lead. That bet was enough to get Martindale to lay down his had and send a small pot over to Joo.
