Villa Makes a Wild Hero Call
Nick Marchington opened to 50,000 in the hijack and Alexander Villa called from the small blind. The flop came 10♣7♠2♥ and Villa check-called a bet from Marchington.
The 2♦ paired the board on the turn and Villa led out with a bet of 50,000. Marchington raised to 200,000 and Villa stuck around for the 9♦ on the river. Villa checked this time and Marchington jammed all in, putting Villa to the test for his remaining 935,000. Villa gave it some thought before making the call and the cards were tabled which shocked the table.
Marchington rolled over K♦6♦ for complete air while Villa showed 5♠5♣ for the lone pair to earn a double up.
"What the f*** am I watching?" Maurice Hawkins exclaimed as he stood up from his chair. "I've got the popcorn ready!"
