Hey guys, I played this hand today against the biggest fish at the table. I knew he had the straight on the river but I hit my magic jack and had to call. Is there any way to get away from this?

flop call is standard IMO, get in a value raise on river now that you have top pair and call any shove. That circus guy, whatever his name is, is definitely bluffing in this spot.
