Thibodaux Makes the Call
Level 4
: Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
Jamie Ho opened to 1,500, then Joshua Thibodaux three-bet to 6,000 and action folded to Ho, who called.
On the flop 8?7?2?, Ho checked, Thibodaux bet 8,200, and Ho called. The turn came the 9? and Ho checked to Thibodaux who then fired for 22,000, and Ho called once again.
The river fell the 4? and Ho moved all in, covering Thibodaux, who then went into the tank.
After a good minute, he made the call, putting himself at risk.
"Ugh, I just have a nine," Ho sighed and showed J?9? for a turned pair of nines.
"Oh, thank god," Thibodaux said with relief as he tabled A?A? for a superior pair of aces to take down the pot for a double while Ho was left short.
