Lekic Hero Calls

Level 13 : 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante
Steve Lekic
Steve Lekic

With over 50,000 in the center of the pot, heads up pot had developed between Steve Lekic and an opponent with a board reading {q-Hearts}{6-Spades}{10-Spades}{5-Diamonds}.

The opponent moved all-in for 70,000 and Lekic went into the tank. After thinking about his decision for over a minute, Lekic called and both cards were tabled.

Opponent: {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs}
Steve Lekic: {7-Hearts}{7-Spades}

Lekic had an underpair and needed to avoid a king, ace or jack on the river. The {3-Diamonds} peeled off on the river and Lekic pushed his stack to over 300,000 chips.
