Jinlong Hu Angers Poker Gods, But Escapes With a Chop
A preflop raising war broke out between Dumitru Pora under the gun and Jinlong Hu in the small blind, culminating in Pora’s stack of approximately 180,000 going into the middle.
Dumitru Pora: A♦K♦
Jinlong Hu: A♠K♠
With both players holding Big Slick, the hand seemed destined to end in a chop. The 4♣J♣5♦ flop kept the status quo but offered Pora the chance to scoop with a backdoor flush.
Hu, seemingly confident he was safe, reached for his chips before the turn even arrived, as if attempting to reclaim them. However, he quickly withdrew his hands when the 6♦ hit the felt, giving Pora the flush draw and a shot at salvation.
The poker gods didn’t punish Hu for his premature actions, as the 2♣ on the river blanked, securing the expected chop. Both players split the pot, but perhaps Hu’s chip-grabbing antics narrowly avoided divine retribution.
