Level 13 : 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

The small blind bet 17,000 into a pot of 35,000 on a board, and the big blind called. Vito DiStefano raised to 55,000 from the hijack, and the small blind quickly folded. The big blind stood up from his seat, agonizing over his decision.

"Lemme have this one," DiStefano told the big blind. A few moments ticked by, then the big blind folded, saying, "I had a good draw."

"You're supposed to call that!" DiStefano told his opponent while flipping over for a set of jacks.
