Saso Makes the Right Call
Level 6
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Action was joined with a big pot already brewed and well over 20,000 in the middle.
The board read 3♠6♦4♣J♠, and Mohamad El-Rais had bet out for 32,000. Paul Saso, on the button, was deep in the tank and decided to make the call.
The turn brought the 4♠, and El-Rais took his time before he announced that he was all-in and he had Saso covered. Saso went back into the tank contemplating the call for his tournament life for 5-6 minutes. He finally made the call and tabled K♥K♦, which had El-Rais' 5♣5♠ crushed, and he was pushed the monster pot for a full double up and more.
