Clouds Gather, Hopes Fade — Jongbae Falls to Erquiaga’s Aces
ong Jongbae shoved all-in for his tournament life after David Erquiaga raised from the cutoff. Erquiaga called without hesitation. Jongbae, now at risk, tabled his hand.
Jong Jongbae: K♥ Q♠
David Erquiaga: A♣ A♠
The moment Erquiaga revealed his aces, a cloud of quiet resignation seemed to settle over Jongbae’s face. He watched intently as the dealer spread the J♦ 8♣ 5♣ flop — no help yet, but not the end. Then, a flicker of hope danced in his eyes as the T♥ landed on the turn, giving him a gutshot to salvation.
But fate had already chosen its path. The river 5♣ sealed his doom, a final blow that pommeled Jongbae into the felt, his tournament life extinguished just like that.
