Altomonte Makes Tough Call
Level 25
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
On the turn of 9♦6♥3♣Q♥ and roughly 130,000 in the middle, Joseph Altomonte bet 60,000 and was looked up by his only opponent in the hand, Ian Williams.
The Q♠ paired the river and Altomonte checked. Williams fired out a bet of 160,000, putting Altomonte in the tank. After about 30 seconds he made the call to hear the words, "jack-high," by Williams.
Altomonte quickly rolled his J♦10♦9♣5♥ over for nines and queens with a jack-kicker and Williams flashed him Jx5x before tossing his hand into the muck.
