Sanoubane Makes a Big Decision Correctly

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

There was over 50,000 in the pot after the river on a board of {10-Clubs}{2-Spades}{q-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{6-Spades} and the hijack was all in for 57,100. Action was on Bobby Sanoubane, who was in the cutoff and was faced with a decision for a sizeable chunk of his stack.

After over a minute, he announced a call and the dealer requested both hands be shown.

Hijack: {k-Spades}{10-Hearts}
Bobby Sanoubane: {q-Diamonds}{j-Spades}

Sanoubane had made the right call with his top pair, jack kicker, edging out his opponent's second pair of tens.

"You made the right call. Nice hand," his opponent said, getting up from his seat to exit the tournament area. That wasn't all the praise he got, however.

"Chip Leader!" tablemate Dapo Ajayi sang. "My man!" he added. "Nice call!"

For the time being, Ajayi appears to be correct on his claim that Sanoubane is the chip leader as he now finds himself just shy of a quarter-million in chips.
