Huge Hero-Call Propels Sudell to Big Stack
The hand started with a raise to 225,000 by Kenny Hallaert and Derek Sudell called in the hijack before Jarod Minghini came along on the button. The J♥10♦2♥ flop was checked by Hallaert and Sudell bet 200,000. That was raised to 650,000 by Minghini and Hallaert folded while Sudell called.
Heads-up to the 5♣ turn, Sudell checked before he called a bet of 1,800,000 by Minghini and they headed to the 2♦ on the river.
Sudell checked again and Minghini moved all-in with the covering stack. By then, the hand had lasted only four minutes and Sudell was sent deep into the tank. The camera crew rushed by to film the action from multiple angles.
After six minutes, Arsenii Karmatckii called the clock on Minghini after he was stuck on only seven blinds - having lost a monster pot to Minghini not long ago.
During the thirty second count down, Sudell said "I don't think I can fold ... . Deuce deuce?! Should have three-bet pre," while he was on the clock. With two seconds left, Sudell splashed in chips for the call and Minghini showed the J♠10♠ for jacks and tens.
Sudell's Q♦Q♠ for queens and deuces were good as he secured the double for 3,735,000 on the river.
