Heroic Call By Cruey

Level 18 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

There was already about 300,000 in the pot with the river showing {a-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{5-Hearts} when Matthew Wantman cut out a bet of 170,000. His opponent Ned Cruey called after a moment.

Wantman tabled his {8-Clubs}{6-Clubs} for nothing but a busted flush draw. Cruey triumphantly revealed his {4-Hearts}{7-Clubs} for a pair of fours to drag the huge pot.

Cruey, a local author, sat back in his seat and raised his hands into the air happily.

"What a call," said Wantman a few moments later.
