Arroyo Makes Incredible Hero Call

Ryan Lashmar

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

With two players seeing a final board of 7♠9♣3♥6♣A♣ and about 60,000 already in the middle, a player in the big blind had moved all in for 53,300 sending Matias Arroyo deep into the tank.

Several minutes went by while Arroyo, clearly on a difficult decision, weighed his options before finally putting in the call.

Arroyo's opponent could only show Q♥10♥ for a bluff. Arroyo tabled 10♣10♦ for just a pair of tens to send his opponent to the rail and drag in a colossal pot.

Level 8 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

A player from the cutoff opened and was called by Evgeny Sirotenko on the button before a player in the small blind three-bet to 10,700, receiving a call from both opponents.

All three players checked the flop and turn leading to a final board of Q♣9♣3♣5♠8♥. Action checked around to Sirotenko who bet 10,000. The small blind called while the player in the cutoff got out of the way.

Sirotenko tabled 8♠8♦ for a rivered set of eights and his opponent's hand hit the muck.
