Kanter's Huge Call

Bubble Pressure...
Bubble Pressure...
On a board of {5-Diamonds} {3-Clubs} {3-Hearts}, Aaron Kanter bet 10,000 into a pot of approximately 30,000. His opponent, the "real" Chris Savage, put him to a decision for all of his chips by check-raising all in to over 43,000. Savage had Kanter covered.

Kanter took a full seven minutes to ponder his decision and try to get a read off of Savage. He must have liked something he saw because he made the call, tabling {7-Hearts} {7-Clubs}. Savage turned over a total bluff: {K-Spades} {J-Spades}. The board ran out {10-Hearts} {9-Spades}, allowing Kanter to double up.
