State Puts on a Cape, Makes Correct Ace-High Hero Call
Level 32
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Adrian State raised from early position and Naji Tannoury called from the big blind.
They went to a flop of 8♣Q♦J♦ where Tannoury check-called a bet of 300,000 from State to see the J♣ turn, which went check-check.
An 8♠ on the river double-paired the board and Tannoury reached for chips and fired out 825,000. State went into the tank and was squeezing his stress ball for a while before he took off his sunglasses and looked at the board a bit closer. Two timebank cards later, State called.
Tannoury was reluctant to show but eventually revealed K♠9♠ for king-high, and State showed A♣7♣ for ace-high to scoop the pot.
