Great Call!

Frank Bianco
Frank Bianco
Generally speaking, adhering to the theory that tankers always fold in tournament poker will steer a reporter right most of the time. Every once in a while, however, a player disproves the theory. Today's example is Frank Bianco.

Sitting on the button, Bianco was one of two players to call a raise to 300. He was the only person to call the raiser's bet of 700 on the {J-Diamonds} {8-Spades} {4-Diamonds} flop. When the turn came {9-Hearts}, Bianco's opponent fired the second bullet by leading out for 1,500. Again Bianco made the call.

The river fell {2-Spades}, not changing anything about the hand. Bianco's opponent bet 3,000, sending Bianco into the tank for over a minute. He finally made the call. His opponent showed {7-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds} for a busted two-way draw; Bianco incredibly tabled {9-Spades} {10-Clubs} for second pair and the winner.

He's up to 29,000.
