Tony Ma Makes a Huge Call

Tony Ma was in the small blind and raised to 1,150. The big blind called. On a flop of {8-Clubs} {8-Spades} {A-Hearts} , Ma checked and his opponent went all in. Ma tanked for a while before finally making the call. Ma tabled {A-Spades} {4-Clubs} and his opponent showed {K-Clubs} {10-Diamonds} . The turn of the {J-Clubs} gave Ma's opponent a straight draw, but all of that was irrelevant when the {8-Hearts} hit the river to give Ma the full house.

Ma is now up to 14,000 in chips.
