Pineault Takes A Chance
Level 23
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Karl Pineault says he has never pondered a poker decision for as long as it took for him to decide what to do with Debra Heidenreich's 500,000-chip bet.
With over a million chips already in the pot, the river bet on a board of 3♥7♥10♦7♠4♠ would lead to one of the players having a significant amount of chips.
Pineault eventually made the call.
Heidenreich tossed in A♣K♠, leading to a scream from Pineault, who had made the call with 9♣9♥, hoping that Heidenreich had missed.
