Diachok Snap-Calls Lalinovci's River Bluff
Level 17
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
There were already around 400,000 chips in the middle with a full board of 2?7?2?A?K? showing when Nazar Diachok checked it over to his opponent in the hand, Besnik Lalinovci. After some thinking, Lalinovci grabbed a stack of chips and bet 392,000 into the pot. Before the dealer could even finish counting out the bet, Diachok had tossed in a chip and called at lightning speed.
Lalinovci was hesitant to show, perhaps shocked at the speed at which Diachok called, but he eventually rolled over 9?8? for just nine-high. Diachok had that beat with his A?7? and raked in the big pot, which sent his stack soaring to around 1,500,000.
