Buchalter Makes Massive Call

Level 23 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Yehuda Buchalter opened under the gun to 100,000. His only customer was Yinjie Mei out of the small blind. Action checked through on a flop of 9Q4, prompting Mei to lead out for 160,000 on the 7 turn. Buchalter called, and both players saw the K river.

Mei didn't slow down, pushing forward a massive stack, good for a pot-sized bet of 580,000. Buchalter didn't take too long before calling, and Mei sheepishly showed A10962 for a pair of nines. Buchalter tabled AK1042, having not believed his opponent and making the correct call with just top and bottom pair.
