Falch Makes a Big Hero Call on the River
Level 4
: Blinds 200/500, 500 ante
Four players limped in as action went on the big blind who raised to 3,000. Only Aleksander Falch in the hijack and another opponent in the cutoff called.
All three players checked the Q♥3♥2♦ flop. Falch then bet 3,500 on the 9♠ turn and both opponents called to the K♥ river.
Action was then checked to the cutoff who bet 17,000. The big blind folded, but Falch stood up from his seat and tanked for a minute before calling.
The cutoff showed 8♠2♠ for a pair of deuces, but Falch had Q♦5♦ for a pair of queens to win the pot.
"Nice call," Oriol Palacios said to him.
"No, it was all luck," Falch replied.
