Baron Calls a Bluff

The board read {2-Clubs}{9-Spades}{J-Hearts} when the big blind bet 4,600 and Isaac Baron called from the cutoff. Both players checked the {7-Diamonds} on the turn and the big blind bet 12,000 when the {4-Spades} hit the river.

Baron counted out the chips for a call and pondered his action for more than 30 seconds before making the call. When his opponent showed {K-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} for a busted straight draw, Baron tabled {A-Clubs}{J-Clubs} for top pair and took the pot.
