Van Kalkeran Calls

The table folded around to the small blind who open-raised all in for 47,000. The player in the big blind checked his cards, then turned to his opponent and said, "Well, I guess I have to call."

The small blind turned over {Q-Clubs}{10-Spades} and the big blind showed {K-Clubs}{3-Hearts}. "Really, did you have to call with that?" asked the small blind. The big blind nodded.

The big blind's name? Daniel Van Kalkeren. True story, this.

The board came {4-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}, and Van Kalkeren's call helped him move up to 155,000.
