Khalil Makes the Wrong Call
Level 13
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Heads-up to the turn on a board of 4♣A♠5♦Q♣, and with around 40,000 in the middle. Ghassan Abou Khalil was first to act from middle position and led out for 15,000. Jakub Michalak, who was seated on the button, took a few moments before making the call.
The A♦ rolled off on the river and Khalil checked. Michalak fired out a bet of 65,000, causing Khalil to go into the tank. After doing some inventory and having a look over at Michalak, Khalil made the call.
Michalak flipped over trip aces with A♥10♥, prompting Khalil shook his head and mucked his cards.
