Dag's Hero Call

On a flop of {8-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}, Kellen Hunter bets 47,000 and Dag Martin Mikkelsen calls. The turn is {9-Hearts} and both check. The river is {Q-Hearts} and Hunter bets 50,000. Mikkelsen calls after going into the tank. Hunter has {A-?}{K-?} but Mikkelsen has {7-Clubs}{7-Spades}.

After Mikkelsen turns his hand over, he says "What? I didn't have a straight?" -- jokingly surprised about his own hand.

After that call, Mikkelsen is up to 885,000, to the 260,000 of Hunter.
