Mark Hodge bet 1,700 when Matthew Herzberg checked to him on a {2-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{3-Clubs} flop. Herzberg made it 6,700 to go, and Hodge thought briefly before shoving all in.

"You probably just have the ace of clubs," said Herzberg, who would have to call off for about 16,500 total to stay in the hand.

After a couple of minutes, he pushed forward all of his chips and flipped {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}. He was ahead, as Hodge had jammed with {a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}, and the {2-Diamonds} turn and {7-Diamonds} river left both players with nada on the board, meaning ace-king high was best.

"Wow," a player at the table said. "Nice call."

Hodge echoed the sentiment as he pushed nearly all of his stack to Herzberg.

Players are on break for 10 minutes.
