Khalil fans love the hero calls

In a recent hand at Table 15, the under-the-gun player opened to 450 with both Josh "JJProdigy" Field in late position and Ali "The Peppermint Hippo" Khalil from the big blind making the call.

The three players checked a {6-Spades}

{6-Spades}

{8-Diamonds}

{10-Clubs}

flop, and moved to the {2-Hearts}

{2-Hearts}

turn. Field fired out 1,050, with Khalil check-calling and the under-the-gun player folding.

On the river {6-Diamonds}

Field again fired 1,550 and Khalil once again check-called. Field sheepishly tabled {k-Diamonds}

for king high, and Khalil revealed the river hero call, when he showed down {a-Hearts}

{7-Clubs}

for ace high.

Khalil is over 45,000.
