Hoover Gives It Up

Stewart Morrison
Stewart Morrison
Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Jerry Hoover raised to 700,000 from middle position, which Hartt Stearns called in the hijack before David Johnson did the same in the big blind.

Hoover continued for 1,600 on a 10♣5♥3♠ flop, which saw Stearns fold, but Johnson check-called.

The 5♠ turn saw Johnson check-call again, this time for 4,000, before the Q♣ river checked through.

Hoover tabled 2♠2♦, which was a long way behind the trips of Johnson, who flipped over 6♣5♣.
