Lujano Tank Calls With Middle Pair
Level 1
: 100/100, 0 ante
We found Table 3 of the $575 Main Event in a heads-up hand displaying a flop of 
.
Daniel Lujano (in the big-blind) was first to act and checked his action to the cutoff, Richard Davis. Davis put out a bet of 400 and Lujano quickly called.
Turn: 
Lujano again checked from his early position over to Davis. Davis bet 1,200 without the slightest hesitation. A brief pause took place before Lujano made the call.
River: 
With the final card now face up on the felt, Lujano quickly checked. Davis continued his story of having it and put a bet of 3,300 in front of him. Lujano was not quick to react in response. Nearly 30 seconds passed as Lujano replayed the hand in his head before finally tossing out a single chip to symbolize his call.
Davis: 
Lujano: 
It took a moment for the table to realize that Davis put out the final bet without even a single pair and the pot was pushed to Lujano with his middle pair of 10's.
