Embleton Makes a Huge Hero Call

Level 4 : 300/600, 600 ante

With 1983 Main Event champion Tom McEvoy looking on at the table, Daniel Embleton just chipped up to 87,000 after making an ambitious hero call.

Embleton and his opponent arrived at the river on a {10-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{6-Spades}{5-Clubs}{j-Clubs} board, and Embleton faced a sizeable river bet on the very dynamic board. After a couple minutes of though Embleton made the call and showed {10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}, and in this case his hero call with second pair was the right decision.

Several other players at the table reacted with strong approval, and Embleton's stack is looking good after the gutsy call.
