"I'm Sorry Ma'am, But That's a Terrible Call"

Level 25 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Robert Cheung open-shoved for 224,000 from the hijack seat, and Claudia Crawford went into the tank on the button.

"I'm all in," she finally announced, pushing her stacks forward.

Both blinds released, and Cheung turned over {a-Clubs}{10-Hearts}.

"I have three outs?" he asked Crawford.

She shook her head, rolling over {5-Clubs}{5-Spades}.

"You called me with pocket fives?" Cheung said, astonished. "I'm sorry ma'am, but that's a terrible call."

Cheung's comments were still lingering in the air as the dealer rapped the tabled and spread {q-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{3-Spades}. The Canadian took the lead with a pair of aces, and held when Crawford was unable to connect with the turn ({7-Diamonds}) or the river ({q-Hearts}).

Cheung doubled to 460,000 chips, while Crawford was crippled down to 95,000.
