Arends Makes Tough Call
Level 17
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Picking up the action on the river, Jans Arends in the big blind was involved in a hand with Justin Bonomo in middle position. With the board reading 5♥6♠Q♥10♣10♠ Arends bet 650,000.
Bonomo responded with a raise to 2,650,000. That sent Arends deep into the tank as he burned through four time banks.
Eventually he made the call and tabled K♥Q♦. Bonomo could only show down Q♣J♣, handing Arends a massive pot while sending Bonomo to the bottom of the chip counts.
