Backdoor Hearts for Calo

Frank Calo and Jesse Martin were heads up on a flop of {j-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{9-Hearts}. Calo led for 7,600, and Martin called.

The turn was the {3-Hearts}, and Calo led again - this time for 18,500. Martin called.

The river was a third heart - the {2-Hearts} - and Calo emptied the chamber, firing 46,500. Martin went into the tank, very displeased at the situation he was in. He rubbed his eyes a few times, stared at Calo and the board, then finally tossed forward enough chips to make the call.

Calo turned over {10-Hearts}{7-Hearts} for a rivered flush.

"Backdoor hearts," Martin muttered.

Calo remained silent, and after raking in the pot, he's flirting with a 400K stack.
