Cody Makes the Call

Level 8 : 30,000/60,000, 0 ante

There was 120,000 in the pot when we joined the action on a {2-Spades} {5-Hearts} {9-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds} board. Hansen was out of position, and he bet 83,000 into the pot. Cody flatted to see the {8-Clubs} fill out the board on the river. Hansen grabbed chips and stacked out 202,000 into the pot, turning his gaze upward as he did. Cody spent a long while considering, cutting the bet out and staring hard at it. Eventually, he mustered the courage to stick it in there.

"I don't think I can win," Hansen said. "I have a queen."

Cody had a queen, too, but his {Q-Hearts} {9-Clubs} had a pair to go with it, locking up the pot for Cody. He's now up to about 2.8 million, while Hansen is down around 2 million.
