Choi Finds the Call Button
Level 6
: 250/500, 75 ante
Young Ki Choi bet 10,500 from second position on a 
board, and his opponent under the gun tanked and called for most of his stack. On the 
river, Choi's opponent shoved all in. It was 10,250, and Choi was given serious pause. He thought for a couple of minutes.
"Ace-king?" he asked. "Ace-king is good."
Eventually someone called a clock, and with two seconds left before his hand was dead, Choi plopped in some calling chips. The under-the-gun player rolled over pocket sevens, and Choi showed 
to take the pot.
