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

Antonio Aguera opened to 3,800 from the cutoff and Viktor Moskalenko defended from the big blind.

The flop came A♦5♥4♥ and Moskalenko check-called a 5,000 continuation bet from Aguera.

Both players checked the 6♠ turn leading to the 10♥ river. Moskalenko checked and Aguera bet 9,200, sending Moskalenko into the tank.

After a couple minutes Moskalenko opted to fold and asked his opponent to show. Aguera obliged, showing Q♥J♥ for a rivered flush before scooping the pot.
