Ahuja's Ace-High Call Wins Sizable Pot
Level 18
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Thomas Bellanger in early position and Ankit Ahuja in the hijack had created a pot of 155,000 when they both checked the Q♣10♥6♠10♠ turn. The 2♥ river then completed the board, prompting Bellanger to bet 100,000.
Ahuja carefully cut out a call and counted his remaining chips, debating his options for a while. Eventually, he gently placed a call.
Bellanger quickly tabled 8♠7♠ for a pure bluff, leaving Ahuja to win the pot with A♥K♦ as he had hero-called with ace-high.
