Kwak Gets Clocked and Makes a Huge Call

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Paul Mitrano was in middle position and open-raised to 15,000. Keun Kwak was on the button and called.

The flop was {q-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}, and Mitrano bet 15,000, Kwak called. The turn was the {2-Hearts}, and Mitrano moved all in for 110,000.

Kwak tanked for over five minutes, questioning his opponent. Eventually, another player at the table called for a clock. Kwak told his opponent that he could beat ace-king and got no response. With about ten seconds remaining, Kwak defiantly put in a handful of chips, signifying he called for his remaining stack of 97,000.

Keun Kwak: {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts}
Paul Mitrano: {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}

Kwak begged the poker gods, "Hold, one time," and he did just that as the {8-Clubs} hit the river. Mitrano was left very short with four big blinds, and Kwak moved to a very healthy stack.
