Tardiff Makes Correct Call
Level 4
: Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
This hand was picked up on a turn of a board that read 3♥8♥2♥A♦ with approximately 6,000 in the middle.
The big blind opted to shove for his final 11,700, which put Chad Tardiff to a decision. Tardiff asked for a count, then took an inventory of his stack as he faced a near double-pot bet on the turn. Tardiff mulled over his decision before he finally stuck in enough chips to make the call, as the big blind was at risk on the turn.
Big Blind: 8♠5♦
Chad Tardiff: A♣J♠
Tardiff made the correct call, as his opponent held a pair of eights, which was well behind his turned pair of aces.
The K♥ river did not alter the standings, as Tardiff would scoop the pot and send his opponent packing.
