Sudduth's Hero Call Cripples Espenlaub
Level 26
: 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Dale Sudduth raised to 80,000 on the button, and Drake Espenlaub called in the big blind. Espenlaub check-called 100,000 from Sudduth on the 
flop. On the 
turn, Espenlaub checked, Sudduth bet 150,000, and Espenlaub shoved all in for about 350,000 more. Sudduth thought for about a minute an announced a call.
"Good call," Espenlaub said, showing 
for second pair.
Sudduth also had eights, 
. The 
river kept his kicked as the winner, and Sudduth was down to 55,000. He doubled up the next two hands when his ace-high held versus live cards both times.
