Just a Call

[user101598]

Justin Bonomo opened to 4,500 from the cutoff, and Daniel Negreanu called from the small blind.

Player	Draw
Bonomo	Pat
Negreanu	1

Negreanu thought for a moment, then tossed out 9,000. Bonomo tanked for at least thirty seconds, then announced that he was, "just calling."

Negreanu fanned a ninety-seven perfect, but Bonomo had that beat with an eighty-seven.

"I wanted a call," Negreanu admitted as Bonomo was raking in the pot. "But not 'just a call.'"
