Big Call for Drinan

Level 4 : 200/400, 50 ante

The flop was showing {9-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} and four players were in the hand when we got to the table. The players in the blinds checked and the cutoff bet 2,500. Only Connor Drinan situated on the button was interested and made the call.

The turn brought a {10-Hearts} and after a check from his opponent, Drinan bet 5,000. The latter called and the dealer revealed a {3-Hearts} on the river. After some thought, Drinan's opponent chose to push all in for a stack of around 50,000, putting Drinan's tournament at risk should he call, as the latter only had a stack worth 24,250 left.

Drinan showed his surprise regarding the move, repeating a few times "Wait what do you have? I think I have the nuts" and "I'm so confused". After a tank for a few minutes, he ended up making the call. His opponent tabled {q-Spades}{9-Hearts} for a pair of nines, and Drinan saw he made the right call, turning over {j-Clubs}{7-Clubs} for the straight.
