Corning Calls the Croc

Billy "the Croc" Argyros
Billy "the Croc" Argyros
Billy "The Croc" Argyros raised from under the gun, Doug Corning reraised from the seat to Argyros' left, and the table folded back around to Argyros who made the call.

The flop came {A-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{8-Diamonds}, and Argyros checked. Corning bet, and the Croc check-raised. Corning called.

The turn was the {K-Diamonds}, and a smiling Argyros quickly counted out the bet. Corning called.

The river was the {8-Clubs}, and Argyros quickly fired out another bet, leaving himself about 20,000. Corning only had about 35,000 himself, and went into the tank.

Argyros, smiling and laughing, told the table, "Give him time! This is a big pot!" Finally Corning called, showing {A-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}. Argyros turned over {A-Clubs}{6-Spades} and congratulated him on the call.

"God, I put a lot of pressure on you," said the still-grinning Croc as the dealer split the pot between the two.
