Tekle Mariam Gets Rewarded for Making the Right Call
Level 15
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
There was a raise to 9,000 from the hijack and Henok Tekle Mariam flat-called in the small blind. Michael Pinto shoved all in for 89,000 in the big blind which got the initial raiser to fold. Tekle Mariam went into the tank for two minutes before finally making the call.
Michael Pinto: 
Henok Tekle Mariam: 
The flop came 
and Pinto took the lead with a pair of sixes. However, the 
on the turn put Tekle Mariam back in front with a pair of kings. The 
on the river was a brick and Pinto was forced to the payout desk.
