Cho Picks the Wrong Time to Get Creative
Level 5
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Wooram Cho raised to 1,600 under the gun before Miroslav Salaj three-bet to 4,000 in middle position. Vasileios Chatzilazarou called on the button, but Cho put in a four-bet to 13,000.
Salaj five-bet to 35,000 and Chatzilazarou got out of the way. Cho asked how much Salaj had behind before moving all in, and Salaj snap-called for 150,000.
Miroslav Salaj: A♥A♣
Wooram Cho: A♠5♠
Cho had made a move right into Salaj's aces and was left with even fewer outs after the J♣7♣10♣ flop as Salaj picked up the nut flush draw. The 5♦ fell on the turn and Cho had one out heading to the river, but no miracles arrived on 2♥ as Salaj earned the massive double up.
