"Had to call"

Bruno Portaro loves it when we write up his "creative" plays, but following the words of tablemate Warwick Mirzikinian who said to us, "Make sure you get how bad he plays...", we had to oblige.

Catching the action on a flop of {10-Hearts}

{10-Hearts}

{8-Clubs}

{5-Hearts}

, Portaro checked and his opponent fired 1,750. Portaro check-raised to 5,000 and his opponent moved all in for a total of 7,200. Portaro cringed but knew he was priced into call.

His opponent flipped {Q-Hearts}

{Q-Hearts}

{Q-Clubs}

as Portaro sheepishly revealed {K-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

{3-Spades}

for just king-high. Portaro was looking for a king but the {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

turn and

{8-Hearts}

river was just as sweet as Portaro made a running flush to crack his opponent's overpair.

Portaro moves up to 39,000.
