{J-Hearts}

{2-Diamonds}

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}
