Mo Fathipour limped from the cutoff and the blinds called. The flop brought the 977 and the small blind checked. DD checked from the big blind and Fathipour bet 4,000.
Only DD made the call and announced a dark check before the turn brought the J.
Fathipour checked behind and the river brought the 10, prompting DD to spring into action and fire 20,000 (which barely ahd the rest of Fathipour’s stack covered.)
After some thought Fathipour made the call and DD quickly said, “Nice call.”
He held only the 64, which Fathipour’s Q10 could beat.
After making the hero call Fathipour is back up to roughly 50,000.
