Big Call Vaults Herm into Chip Lead

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

We caught the action with a board of {8-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} and Chou Chou bet 90,000. Mark Herm made the call and the {2-Hearts} fell on the river. Chou moved all in for 256,000 and Herm went into the tank. Herm thought for several minutes, virtually convincing himself that Chou had ace-king. He couldn't make the laydown, however and eventually made the call. "Five high," said Chou, tabling {5-Spades}{4-Clubs}.

Herm turned over {a-Spades}{q-Hearts} and left Chou with just 5,000 in chips.
