Calderon Hits River to Stay Alive

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

The board read {a-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{k-Diamonds} and Seat 2 was facing a tough decision from Howard Calderon who had shoved all in for about 66,000.

After a few moments the clock was called by a player at the table not involved in the hand.

"That was only like 40 seconds," remarked Seat 2 as the floor came over and the dealer explained the situation.

The countdown was not needed as Seat 2 made the call shortly after and turned over {a-Spades}{j-Spades} which was in the lead versus Calderon's {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades}.

The turn was an innocuous {7-Hearts} but the river was not so innocuous as the {9-Hearts} fell to save Calderon with the winning set of nines.
