Okamoto Makes a Good Fold
Level 29
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Shiina Okamoto raised to 275,000 from the button holding K♣7♠. Jamie Kerstetter defended with J♠4♦.
The flop 5♣4♠7♥ gave both players a piece, but Okamoto was ahead. Kerstetter check-called her flop bet.
The turn was the J♦, improving Kerstetter to two pair. She check-called Okamoto's bet of 350,000.
The river J♥ gave Kerstetter a monster hand, jacks full of fours, and she decided to lead for 1,300,000, which was about the size of the pot. Despite holding top two pair with a good kicker, Okamoto did not need long to make the fold.
