Hulme Makes the Wrong Call, All But Out
Level 35
: Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante
Andrew Hulme opened to 1,200,000 from under the gun and Alec Torelli defended from the big blind. The flop came J♦8♠8♣ and both players checked to the 10♥ on the turn.
Torelli checked again and Hulme fired out a bet of 1,900,000. Torelli called and the 2♣ completed the board. Torelli checked for the third time and Hulme put together a bet of 5,400,000. Torelli check-raised all in, putting Hulme to the test for his stack of 12,900,000.
Hulme leaned back in his chair in disbelief while Torelli rested his head on the rail. Hulme felt the heat as he took his sweater off before calling after three minutes. Torelli showed 9♠7♠ for a straight while Hulme was left with J♠10♠ for top two pair.
