Kalisek Makes Clutch Call

Jerome Solomon
Jerome Solomon
Level 27 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Toshio Nanao called a 320,000-chip bet on the turn, then quickly shoved all in for more than 2 million chips after the river hit.

Clayton Kalisek took a long time to study a board that read J♦4♠Q♠5♦3♠. Eventually, he made the call. Nanao was shocked.

Toshio Nanao: K♠J♣All in
Clayton Kalisek: A♥Q♥

Nanao flopped second pair, but was clearly representing a flush with the huge bet on the river. To his dismay, Kalisek sniffed it out.

Nanao was so dazed, he walked away without taking his backpack. After being tracked down, he returned to the table and gave Kalisek a look, and then cracked up the entire table.

"Will you play cash with me?" he said. "How can you make that call?"
