Thibodaux Finds the Right Call
Level 14
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
With two players seeing a board of J♠9♠9♦5♠ and 58,000 in the middle, Joshua Thibodaux checked from the small blind and Michael Duek bet 30,000 from the big blind. Thibodaux made the call.
On the 8♥ river Thibodaux checked and Duek fired a pot-sized bet of 118,000. Thibodaux contemplated his options for about 90 seconds before opting to call.
"You're good" Duek told his opponent. Thibodaux tabled A♠6♠2♠8♣ for an ace-high flush to take down a sizable pot.
