Falcon Makes a Big Hero Call on the River
Level 11
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
A player in early position raised to 3,200 and Mateo Flament three-bet to 10,400 in middle position. Michael Falcon called in the cutoff, while the early-position player also called.
All three players checked the 7♥3♦4♠ flop. The early-position player then bet 15,500 on the 6♣ turn, and only Falcon called.
The river was the 4♣ and the early-position player bet 26,000. Falcon quickly called, and his opponent showed 9♦8♦ for a missed straight draw. Falcon turned over A♥Q♣ for just ace-high to win the big pot.
"If he goes all in, I call," Falcon said.
"I believe you," tablemate Inaki Angulo replied.
