"That's the Hero Call we Need"
Level 35
: Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
Dusti Smith raised to 1,150,000 from the button, and Umesh Babusukumar called from the big blind. The flop came out with 4♣10♣A♥, and Babusukumar checked, and Smith made a continuation bet of 1,250,000. Babusukumar made the call.
Both players checked the turn 9♦.
On the river 8♥ Babusukumar took the lead and bet out 2,200,000. Smith went into the think tank and eventually made a heroic call that was rewarded.
Babusukumar showed K♠Q♠ for king high with a missed straight draw, and Smith showed 9♠7♠ for a pair of nines and the win.
The rail went crazy for Smith and shouted, "That's the hero call we need".
