The PokerNews Live Reporting Crew were wandering by Table #36 when we were stopped by 2011 PCA Main Event champion Galen Hall.

"I wish you would have been here earlier," he said, pointing over to his neighbor Chris Peterson. "This guy made the best call I've seen in all of this World Series - it could have been an ESPN top ten play!"

He then proceeded to wax lyrical about said play. Peterson and three callers went to a flop of {9-}{4-}{2-} (two diamonds), which they all checked before a black {9-} fell on the turn. A player in late position bet out 225 and Peterson was the only caller, making it heads-up to the river {3-}.

The opponent then fired out 825 and Peterson thought about it for a minute before calling, showing down {K-}{Q-} off-suit, which somehow, to everyone's amazement, was the best hand!
