Hero Call FTW

We happened upon Jon Turner's table with the board already laid out, {k-Spades}{7-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} and Turner facing a bet from the big blind of 2,650. After a minute or two of deliberation he tossed in the chips to call and the other player said "nice call" as he flipped over his {a-Clubs}{10-Spades}. A nice call indeed as Turner revealed his {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} for a better ace-high hand.

As Turner was raking in the pot he laughed and said "I've had to fold top two and aces but every single hero call I'm right!" His tablemates all agreed and seemed to be impressed with Turner's play thusfar. After the hand Turner's stack was up to around 63,000
