A Big Call for Nicholas Sliwinski

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

From late position Terry Lade raised to 95,000 and Nicholas Sliwinski reraised to 250,000 from the big blind. Lade called, and they saw a {10-Spades}

{10-Spades}

{5-Clubs}

{5-Hearts}

flop. Sliwinski bet 325,000 and Lade called. The same pattern repeated when the {Q-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

turned, as Sliwinski bet 500,000 and Lade again called.

The {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

fell on the river, Sliwinski checked, and Lade moved all in for over 2 million. That was more than enough to set Sliwinski all in and he got up from his chair, looked the scene over from that vantage point, and made the call.

And a good call it was, as his {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{7-Hearts}

were good against Lade's {8-Hearts}

{8-Hearts}

{8-Diamonds}

. "Yes!" Sliwinski shouted, as he beat on his chest in celebration. He's now up to 3 million, while Lade slipped to 980,000.
