Nice Call, Franky Baby

Frank Vizza
Frank Vizza
Five people saw a flop for cheap, and it came down {J-Diamonds} {8-Spades} {5-Spades}. Frank Vizza was first to act. He led out with a bet of 1,400. He found just one man who would give him action, and the two went heads up for the remainder of the hand.

Fourth street was the {7-Diamonds}, and both men checked. The last card was the {Q-Clubs}. Vizza checked again, and his opponent started to finger his chips. He plucked 2,500 of them off the top and dropped them into the pot, drawing a bemused look from Vizza. He went into the tank for just a minute or so, mumbling incoherently to himself. Finally, and seemingly reluctantly, Vizza made the call.

His opponent showed {7-?} {9-?} between his hands, waiting for Vizza's cards. They were better; Vizza tabled {10-Spades} {J-Hearts} for a pair of jacks. With that little pot, Frank Vizza has just pipped the 30,000-chip mark.
