Edler Makes a Stunning Call

Preflop, three players limped in, including Bill Edler. The flop fell {2-Diamonds} {3-Clubs} {4-Spades} and action was checked to the eight seat, who bet out 2,500. Edler and one other player called.

The turn fell the {J-Diamonds} and the eight seat bet out 3,300. Edler began to tank. He took a sip of his coffee while making his decision. He then asked for a count from the eight seat. The eight seat had over 15,000 left. Edler then took another drink from his coffee and looked as if he was trying to finish the coffee before calling. Finally, he made the call.

The river fell the {J-Clubs} and again, the eight seat bet. This time he bet 6,000. Edler thought for a bit again before finally making the call.

Seat eight showed {8-?} {8-?} for jacks and eights. Edler showed {9-Diamonds} {9-Clubs} for jacks and nines.

After the hand, Edler said, "I was sure that your pair was lower than jacks."

"Nice call, Bill," was all his opponent responded.

After the hand, Edler moved up to 36,000 chips.
