The Snappiest of Calls
Level 7
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Seeing two limps in front of him, Jon-Michael Gisler raised to 5,500 from the hijack. Both the limpers called, including Brandon Takao, but the rest of the table folded.
Gisler continued with a bet of 8,000 on the 2♣2♦8♦ flop, and only Takao called.
The turn 7♥ saw another check-call from Takao, this time for a more substantial 20,000.
When the dealer burned and turned the 9♣ river, Takao announced "All-in". No sooner had the words left his mouth than Gisler had announced "Call", whilst immediately turning over 9♠9♦ for a rivered full house.
Takao turned over his A♦5♦, as was necessary, before cutting out the chips from his stack to double up his neighbour.
