A Big Call for Nicholas Sliwinski

[user37786]

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.
