Bernard Mendy Makes the Call Against Tomas Soderstrom
Level 11
: 1,200/2,400, 400 ante
Bernard Mendy bet 10,000 into a pot of 30,000 on a 
flop and watched Tomas Soderstrom raise to 42,000.
Mendy went into the tank and thought for a long while. "I'm curious," he said, before putting in the chips to make the call.
Soderstrom showed 
for a pair of sixes, while Mendy had that beat with 
.
After the hand Mendy told us how he raised from the small blind pre-flop and Soderstrom defended his big blind. Mendy bet the flop and Soderstrom called. The two checked the river before Mendy got put in a difficult situation on the river.
Mendy is now up to around 300,000 in chips.
