Choi Makes a Misstep

We picked up the action on the turn as the board showed {Q-Clubs} {7-Diamonds} {7-Hearts} {9-Clubs}. Edwin Choi checked, and Kurt Jewell bet 240,000 into a pot of just over 300,000. Choi then snuck in a check-raise to 550,000 total, and Jewell made the call to see the last card.

It was the {5-Spades}, and Choi put out a bet of 700,000. Jewell thought it over carefully before calling with {A-Hearts} {Q-Spades}, queens up. It was good; Choi was forced to show his {8-Clubs} {5-Clubs} before mucking them, and he's taken a big hit to knock him down to just 800,000. Jewell, on the other hand, is doing just fine. He's up to 5 million now and has nearly 1/3rd of the total chips in play.
