Thibodaux Makes the Call
Level 4
: Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
Jamie Ho opened to 1,500, then Joshua Thibodaux three-bet to 6,000 and action folded to Ho, who called.
On the flop 8♠7♠2♣, Ho checked, Thibodaux bet 8,200, and Ho called. The turn came the 9♥ and Ho checked to Thibodaux who then fired for 22,000, and Ho called once again.
The river fell the 4♠ and Ho moved all in, covering Thibodaux, who then went into the tank.
After a good minute, he made the call, putting himself at risk.
"Ugh, I just have a nine," Ho sighed and showed J♣9♣ for a turned pair of nines.
"Oh, thank god," Thibodaux said with relief as he tabled A♥A♣ for a superior pair of aces to take down the pot for a double while Ho was left short.
