Pretty impressive that you put him on a flush draw without the A or K. So he only had 17 outs instead of being way ahead.

Didn't Ted Forrest call a river bet with a pair of 2's in a stud game a couple years back at the WSOP?

He won the hand, too.
That was NASTY.
that was an AWESOME call down

Great calls are usually terrible calls that got lucky.

JustinA do you believe that to be 100% accurate? When one reaches down inside and they just know that their opposition has nada, and they make the call it does wonders to the whole metagame value. I have owned people because of a sick call I have made. I.M.O layne is the best in the world at this right now. He makes calls short handed and heads up, that knock the other player towards tilting.

Sure, that's why I said usually instead of always.

I thought of this after remembering that insane call Mike Gracz made at the WSOP with A high. So what call left you in shock? How about online, in real life and on tv?

Wasn't that against Shaniac?

While all these calls are awesome, it really hits home when you see/view an amazing call in person. I was watching Keith Sexton &amp; MrSmokey1 battle it out heads up in the Full Tilt 200k. They are both even in chips. ~ 700k each.

MrSmokey1 raises his button and KeithSexton calls.
Flop: 10d 7d 2s
KeithSexton Checks
MrSmokey bets half the pot ~ 60k.
KeithSexton raises to 175k
MrSmokey1 calls.

Turn 7s
KeithSexton checks, MrSmokey1 checks.

River 10h
KeithSexton bets 300k
MrSmokey1 calls

They both flip over K 3 off for K high. Watching this call I realized this is why I'm not at the final talbes very often.
