Frese Makes Great Call After 10-Minute Tank

Level 26: 40,000/80,000 (80,000)
Entries: 13/1,271

Peter Kamaras opened for 175,000. Aaron Frese called from the button as did the players from the blinds. The action checked to Kamaras on the 5 Q 3 flop and he fired out for 265,000. Frese raised to 630,000. The players in the blinds folded and Kamaras called to see the 10 turn.

Kamaras jammed for more than the 1,730,000 Frese had behind. Frese sighed then went silent for nearly 10 minutes before he eventually made the call.

Aaron Frese: A J
Peter Kamaras: 6 2

Frese was ahead and had the better flush draw. Kamaras bricked the 3 river and Frese doubled his stack with ace-high.

The blinds went up to 50,000/100,000 along with a 100,000 big blind ante during the hand making everyone’s stacks effectively shorter.

Aaron Frese – 5.5 million
Peter Kamaras – 4.5 million
