Caloro Dispatched by Callahan

Mars Callahan

On a flop of {10-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{2-Spades}, Umberto Caloro checked from the under-the-gun position and Mars Callahan bet 110,000 from middle position. Caloro then came alive with a check-raise to 254,000, and Callahan hit the tank hard. We're talking for somewhere right around eight minutes, even saying, "If you have jacks, I'm ahead."

Eventually Callahan made the call and watched the {8-Hearts} hit the turn. Caloro moved all in for his remaining 291,000 and Callahan didn't take nearly as long to make the call.

Showdown
Callahan: {Q-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}
Caloro: {9-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}

As it turned out, Callahan had made a good call with his queens as Caloro held only a gut-shot straight draw. The {5-Spades} river was of no consequence and Callahan put an end to Caloro's Main Event.
