Munteanu Makes an Incredible Hero-Call
Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
On the very last hand of the day, the action was picked up on a board of K♦5♦J♣2♥. Bogdan Munteanu checked from the big blind and a player seated under-the-gun bet 30,000. Munteanu called.
The board-pairing K♥ hit the river and Munteanu checked. The under-the-gun player immediately shoved for 120,000. Munteanu went deep into the tank, and after doing a bit of inventory, flicked in the call.
Under-the-gun: A♥10♦ 
Bogdan Munteanu: 5♥4♣
The under-the-gun player was caught bluffing with just a busted straight draw. Munteanu had called with just a pair of fives and eliminated his opponent. After the chips were counted, this pot made Munteanu the chip leader at the end of Day 1c.
