Ray Makes Tough Call to Double

Level 24 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Pot-Limit Omaha

Heads-up on a board of {10-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{2-Spades}{a-Spades}, Michael Thomas bet 800,000, enough to put Joshua Ray all in.

"Why didn't you put a diamond out there to give me the nuts instead of giving me top set," Ray asked the dealer as he went into the tank for several minutes. Eventually, he slammed in the chips to call.

"Good call. I have a set too," Thomas said, showing {2-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{x-}{x-}. Ray turned over {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{x-} for a set of aces to earn the massive double up.
