"I knew I had one over when I called"

Dennis Huntly recently eliminated a player after getting it all in with just an overcard.

Preflop, a player from early position made it 800 to go and Dennis Huntly made the call. Action folded to the big blind who moved all in for 3,225.

The early position player folded and action was on Huntly. After taking some time in the tank, the other player got sick of waiting.

"Come on, make a decision already," he huffed. Huntly replied, "I don't have to call here, but I will".

"Ok, let's gamble then," replied the all-in player.

Huntly tabled {A-Spades}{5-Clubs} to have one overcard against his opponent's {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}.

The flop was {Q-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} to give Huntly outs to the straight, and the turn {6-Hearts} made that an open-ended straight draw. The river spiked the {A-Hearts} and shipped the pot Huntly's way.

"I knew I had one overcard when I called," said Huntly. He's up to about 8,000 in chips after being down early.
