Tschernigg’s Call Meets Zhao’s Surprise Set on the River
Level 6
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Peter Tschernigg opened the action with a raise to 1,000 from under the gun and faced a three-bet from Jiaming Zhao in the cutoff to 3,000, which Tschernigg called.
The flop came 3?A?10?, and Tschernigg check-called Zhao’s 2,500 continuation bet.
Both players decided to check the 2? turn.
When the J? hit the river, Tschernigg led for 4,300. Zhao wasn’t backing down, firing back with a raise to 12,500. Tschernigg took his time, weighing his options before making the call, only to see Zhao reveal J?J? for a set of jacks, sending Tschernigg’s hand straight to the muck.
