Joe Cassidy Makes a Big Call

On a board of {6-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{Q-Spades}{10-Hearts}, and about 20,000 in the pot, Joe Cassidy's opponent moves in for his last 24,500. Joe takes a solid 5 minutes to decide what to do, as a call would leave him with less than 15,000. Joe finally makes the call, and his opponent shows {A-Spades}{5-Hearts}. Joe flips over {10-Spades}{J-Diamonds}, and gets rewarded for his good decision. Joe Cassidy is up to about 83,000 chips.
