An Amazing Call With King High

[user22113]

In a battle of the blinds Luigi Apreda raised from the small blind to 6,000 and John Donahue in the big blind made the call.

The flop of {8-Spades}

{8-Spades}

{8-Clubs}

{4-Hearts}

was checked by both players.

The turn brought the {4-Spades}

{4-Spades}

and Apreda leads out for 15,000. Donahue raises to 30,000 and Apreda makes the call.

The river is the {3-Spades}

{3-Spades}

and Apreda leads out once again, this time for 25,000. Donahue goes into the tank and after several minutes makes the call.

Apreda sheepishly turns over {9-Hearts}

{9-Hearts}

{7-Clubs}

for nine-high, while Donahue flips {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

{Q-Spades}

to take down the 120,000 pot with an excellent call with only king-high.
