Amnon Gets Away Cheap

Yeah, I smelled something funny there
Yeah, I smelled something funny there

Amnon Filippi opened for 38,000 from middle position and James Calderaro called from the big blind. Calderaro led out for 40,000 on the {8-Hearts}{2-Spades}{6-Clubs} flop and Filippi called. Both players checked the {9-Spades} on the turn. The river was the {A-Spades}. Calderaro checked and Filippi made what turned out to be a very smart check behind.

Calderaro showed {5-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} for a nine-high straight and took down the pot.

"Wow. Really glad he didn't value bet the river," muttered Filippi. He's down to 265,000 while Calderaro is up to 480,000.
