"Torpedo" Makes the Right Call

Level 2 : 100/200, 200 ante
Justin Thurlow
Justin Thurlow

Justin Thurlow, known among many locally as "Torpedo" opened to 600 in the hijack and was called by both players in the blinds. The flop fell {a-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{8-Spades} and all three players checked.

The turn came {4-Clubs} and the small blind bet 600. The big blind folded and Thurlow called, bringing the river {k-Spades}. The small blind bet another 1,000 and Thurlow thought for about 25 seconds before tossing up a T1,000 chip a foot or so into the air so that its trajectory went in an arc before it landed in the middle of the table for a call.

The small blind tabled {k-Hearts}{7-Hearts} for a rivered pair of kings to go along with his missed nut flush draw, and Thurlow showed {a-Spades}{7-Spades} for a pair of sevens to win him the pot.
