"Torpedo" Makes the Right Call
Level 2
: 100/200, 200 ante
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 ![]()
![]()
and all three players checked.
The turn came
and the small blind bet 600. The big blind folded and Thurlow called, bringing the river
. 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 ![]()
for a rivered pair of kings to go along with his missed nut flush draw, and Thurlow showed ![]()
for a pair of sevens to win him the pot.
