Dropping Treys
From the button, Jim Gladwell raised to 32,000 before small blind Edwin Choi moved all in for 181,000. In the big blind, Kathy Liebert announced an all-in reraise of her own, and Gladwell tanked for a while and folded, later claiming he'd held eight-nine suited. In any event, Choi was at risk as the cards were turned up. "You weren't supposed to call," he said, knowing the news was not going to be good.
Showdown
Choi:
Liebert:
Things would improve in a hurry for the at-risk player as the dealer rolled out an unlikely . A player at the table claimed he folded the case three, so it was quite the find for Choi. The turn and river didn't change anything, and Choi has doubled up in the unlikeliest of fashion. He's back over 400,000 now, while Liebert has been knocked back to just 142,000.
