Power Hero-Calls At the Wrong Time
Level 33
: Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
Off a short stack, Adrien Zychowski folded the 6♠6♣ and Chad Power raised to 800,000 with the A♦K♦, Luka Bojovic called with the A♠9♠ in the big blind. On the 8♣6♦2♠ flop, both players checked to see the 9♥ on the turn and Bojovic now over-bet for 3,200,000 to pick up a call from Power.
The river paired the board with the 9♦ and Bojovic bet 8,200,000 into a pot of 8,600,000 with his trips nines to send Power into the tank. It was for nearly all of his chips and Power indeed hero-called with his ace-king high bluff catcher to drop all the way to one and a half big blinds on the pay jump bubble.
