Altomonte Makes Tough Call
Level 25
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
On the turn of 9?6?3?Q? and roughly 130,000 in the middle, Joseph Altomonte bet 60,000 and was looked up by his only opponent in the hand, Ian Williams.
The Q? paired the river and Altomonte checked. Williams fired out a bet of 160,000, putting Altomonte in the tank. After about 30 seconds he made the call to hear the words, "jack-high," by Williams.
Altomonte quickly rolled his J?10?9?5? over for nines and queens with a jack-kicker and Williams flashed him Jx5x before tossing his hand into the muck.
