A Hero Call

Valentin Vornicu opened to 5,200 and was called by Cary Marshall (small blind) and John Miner (big blind). The flop fell {5-Clubs}{3-Spades}{2-Hearts}, and the action checked to Vornicu, who fired 8,000. Marshall folded, and Miner, a Carson City native who just won a ring event here in Tahoe, moved all in for 65,900.

Vornicu went into the tank for a very long time, but eventually made the call.

Vornicu: {6-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}
Miner: {10-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}

Vornicu's sixes held as the turn and river came {5-Diamonds}, {4-Spades} respectively, eliminating Miner from the tournament.

After the hero call, Vornicu is now up over 200,000 chips
