An Unfavorable Turn for Sluzinski

Level 14 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Following a limp in the cutoff, Jeff Sluzinski raised to 7,200 from the button. The blinds folded, but the cutoff came along as the dealer spread a {J-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} flop.

The cutoff checked, and Sluzinski bet out 8,800. His opponent deliberated for close to two minutes before calling as the turn landed the {6-Spades}. The cutoff moved all in for 26,400, and Sluzinski called to put his opponent at risk.

Sluzinski: {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds}
Opponent: {6-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}

With Sluzinski's opponent getting lucky on the turn to strike a two-outer, Sluzinski would need to do the same on the river.

Unfortunately for Sluzinski, the river landed the {J-Diamonds}, and he doubled his opponent and dropped to 39,600 in the process.

Brown: {9-Hearts}{7-Hearts}
Opponent: {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}
