Yifrach Makes the Right Call

Level 15 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Gal Yifrach
Gal Yifrach

On a board of {q-Spades}{10-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}, both players checked to Gal Yifrach who put in a bet of 25,000 from the button. The small blind called before the big blind jammed his 144,000 stack. Yifrach took a few moments before making the call and the small blind threw his hand away.

"Good Call," Said the all-in player.

"It's not over yet," Yifrach responded.

All-in Player: {a-Spades}{7-Hearts}
Gal Yifrach: {q-Hearts}{9-Hearts}

Yifrach flopped top pair and was able to dodge the overcard as the board completed with the {5-Spades} on the turn and the {10-Hearts} on the river.
