Daring Call by Dean
On a heads-up completed board of 5♦8♦7♠K♦3♦, there was around 200,000 in the pot when Andrew Dean was faced with a 100,000 bet from his opponent.
Dean only had around 110,000 left in his stack so his decision was essentially for his tournament life and he went into the tank for some time.
After a while, his opponent called the clock on him and he was given a 30-second shot clock. As his timer neared zero, he made the call at the last second and was shown Q♣6♣ for queen-high by his opponent. Dean then proudly flipped over J♠J♥ for just a pair of jacks to win the pot.
"Nice call man," his opponent told him, "I thought you were going to let the time expire,"
"Yeah, it was a tough spot," Dean replied as he raked in the pot for a double up while his opponent was then the one left short and ended up busted a few hands later.
