Self-Proclaimed "Stupid Call" Costs James Hess Nearly Two Million

After raising to 500,000 from the button, James Hess watched as Richard "Dick" Harwood shipped his stack into the middle. The reraise was for 1,350,000 more and Hess could easily have the laydown, but with the dominant chip lead he decided to take the risk.

"It's a stupid call, but I call" said Hess as he turned over his {10-Spades}{8-Spades}. When he saw the {J-Spades}{J-Clubs} held by Dick Harwood, Hess simply shook his head in confirmation and waited for the dealer to spread the board.

The flop of {Q-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} was as dry as it gets for Hess and he said "nice hand sir" while still shaking his head. The {7-Hearts} on the turn left him drawing dead, and after the meaningless {9-Diamonds} on the river, Hess shipped nearly 2,000,000 to the revitalized Harwood.
