[user22113]

Thomas "tommyboy83" Koral just made a big call and was rewarded for it.

Tommy raised to 72,000 on the button and was called by Gary Leibovitz from the small blind. The flop came {J-Hearts}

{J-Hearts}

{2-Diamonds}

{8-Spades}

and Gary check-called Tommy's bet of 80,000. When the {K-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

hit the turn, Gary Leibovitz moved all in and had Koral covered. Tommy tanked and eventually said, "That is such a weird play. This would be a sick call."

Tommy did in fact call and Gary turned up {10-Hearts}

{10-Hearts}

{9-Hearts}

for the huge draw. Tommy showed {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{8-Diamonds}

for a pair of 8's and held a slight lead going to the river, which was the {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

. Tommy's cheering section erupted as he doubled up to over 1,000,000. Gary slipped to about 300,000.
