Liedtke Makes the Correct Call For His Tournament Life
Level 19
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Action was caught on the river on the board 8♣J♣5♣3♠7♠. Bradley Gafford, who was first to act, put Mark Liedke, sitting in middle position, all in. The bet was for 260,000 of Liedtke’s chips, with over 400,000 already in the pot before the river.
According to the players, Gafford had bet every street, with Liedtke only calling. Liedtke had the decision for his tournament life and after taking some time to think, made the call.
Gafford turned over A♣K♦K♠Q♠. He held the ace of clubs, but that was the only club in his hand. He congratulated Liedtke, who turned over A♠K♣4♠3♣ for the second nut flush, on a nice hand.
