Tse Makes the Right Call

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

The hand was discovered on a board of {10-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{q-Spades}{2-Diamonds} and Michael Tse faced an all-in bet of 10,100 chips from his opponent. After a few moments in the tank, Tse made the call.

The hands were turned face-up and it was the {a-Spades}{j-Spades} for ace-high held by Tse in the lead against the {k-Spades}{j-Hearts} for king-high held by his opponent.

The dealer burned and placed the river card {k-Clubs} on the board, and that completed a broadway straight for Tse and eliminated his opponent.
