"Put Me to the Test"; Hammer Makes a Big Call on Medoff
Level 12
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
With around 40,000 in the pot on a board of 9♦3♠9♠J♦, Edward Medoff bet 17,000 from under the gun before Kevin Hammer raised to 45,000 on the button. Medoff called to see the 6♠ river.
Medoff then moved all in, and Hammer tanked for several minutes before calling for his last 71,000. Medoff showed 10♣8♣ for a missed straight draw, while Hammer turned over A♠9♥ for trips to win the massive pot.
"Put me to the test," Hammer said.
