Kerr Gets All Tai'd Up

Andrew Tai has just made an epic hero call to move up to more than 230,000 after doubling through James Kerr.

Kerr raised to 5,500 from UTG +1 and the action folded around to Tai who called from the big blind before the dealer spread the flop of {Q-Diamonds}{J-Spades}{10-Clubs}.

Tai checked to Kerr who led out for 10,500, only to quickly check-raise to 25,000. Kerr snap-shoved and Tai jumped out of his chair.

"Wow!" Tai moaned. "Do you have Broadway?" Tai then stood there, staring at the board for almost two minutes, hands on head and grimacing as he processed the situation. Finally, he shrugged his shoulders and announced, "What the hell ... I call."

Kerr: {A-Spades}{7-Diamonds}
Tai: {9-Spades}{8-Spades}

Tai pumped his fist, thrilled to learn that he had caught Kerr out. It ended up paying off, as the turn and river blanked out {9-Hearts}, {4-Hearts}. With Tai's double-up, Kerr is now down to less than 110,000.
