Maltez Finds the Call Button

Level 8 : 400/800, 100 ante

There was over 50,000 in the pot between Fabrice Maltez, in the cutoff, and a middle-position opponent. The board read {k-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{2-Spades}{2-Diamonds}. Maltez's opponent pushed all in for 37,500 effective to put Maltez to the test. After a couple of minutes, the French player flicked in a chip to call.

Maltez: {a-}{k-}
Opponent: {q-Spades}{8-Spades}

Maltez just needed to fade another spade hitting the board, and he did just that as the {7-Diamonds} fell.
