James Calderaro

James Calderaro opened to 45,000 from the cutoff, Johnny Bromberg called on the button, Curtis Day called in the small blind, and Max Young in the big.

The flop was AsKs8h, two checks from the blinds, Caldo bet 100K and only Bromberg stuck around. The turn was Kh, Caldo checked, Bromberg bet 80,000 and Calderaro called.

The river was 9c, Calderaro checked, and Bromberg bet 200,000.

Calderaro pulled out enough blue chips to call and thought for two minutes.

“I can only beat a busted flush draw,” he told the table. He looked at the board some more and tossed in his call.

Bromberg flipped up Js7s for the busted spade draw and Calderaro was good with Ac6c.

James Calderaro – 1,540,000 (77 bb)
Johnny Bromberg – 940,000 (47 bb)
