Big Call for Mariano
Level 11
: 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
With 
on the board, "Boston" Rob Mariano bet 6,000 from middle position. Jed Hoffman, who initially checked, put in the all-in check-raise to 40,000.
Mariano went deep into the tank, asking for exact count while mulling over the decision. He eventually decided on a call.
Jed Hoffman: 
Rob Mariano: 
Mariano made the correct call, but Hoffman still had a chance at taking down the pot with a club or king hitting on the river. That fell 
, however, and Mariano sent Hoffman to the rail.
