Peltecci Makes "Greatest Call Ever" To Double Up

We came to the table as the river had just been dealt on a {2-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{a-Spades}{5-Clubs}{5-Spades} board. There was about 60,000 in the pot, and Robert Peltecci checked over to Kevin Saul, who put out 100,000 which was enough to put Peltecci all in. Peltecci thought for about 20 seconds befre stopping his massage and standing up to think some more. After about a minute of thinking, Peltecci called and showed {4-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} for fives and fours. Saul simply said "wow nice call" and showed {k-Diamonds}{10-Spades} for king high.

Peltecci left the table to briefly celebrate, and tablemate Cory Albertson commented "The guy is the tighest player ever tanks everytime its on him yet he makes the greatest call ever." The whole table had a laugh, especially Peltecci, who was happy to stack up his well earned chips.
