Fritz Stuns the Table With Hero Call
Arriving at the table to see a pot of roughly 850,000 had amassed on a completed board of 3♣5♦3♦8♦K♠. Manuel Fritz was first to act from the big blind and checked the action over to "Dubai Police", who was seated in the cutoff.
"Dubai Police" announced all in for Fritz's stack of 625,000, which caused Fritz to go deep into the tank. Fritz burned through the majority of his time banks, pondering whether to call or fold. After a few glances over at "Dubai Police", who remained stoic the entire time, Fritz made the call for his tournament life.
"Dubai Police" turned over a missed straight draw with 9♥7♠, and lost the pot to Frtiz's 6♣6♦ for just a pair of sixes. One of their table mates let out a prolonged "Wow!" after seeing the hand Fritz had picked off his opponent's bluff with.
