Kimes Makes a Great Call

In a battle of the blinds that was unraised preflop, Brett Kimes bet 100,000 on a flop of {10-Hearts} {6-Clubs} {10-Spades}. Bobby Firestone, who had checked the action to Kimes, called the bet. Both players checked through the {9-Diamonds} turn. The river fell {2-Spades}, bringing a bet of 200,000 from Firestone. Kimes went into the tank for over a minute before finally making the call.

"You got it," said Firestone, pitching his cards into the muck. Kimes opened his hand anyway, showing {5-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds} for two pair, tens and sixes.
