McDermott Hero Calls Vampan to Double
Timothy McDermott alerted the PokerNews reporting team to a recent hand that saw him double up in a tough spot.
After he raised to 25,000 on the button and was called by Daniel Vampan in the small blind and the player in the big blind, action was checked on the 
flop to McDermott, who bet 30,000. Vampan then check-raised to 125,000, the big blind folded, and McDermott called.
On the 
turn, Vampan jammed for 322,000 effective and McDermott said he went deep into the tank, pondering his decision for a couple of minutes before clicking the proverbial 'call' button.
Vampan showed 
for a turned pair of kings with a flush draw, while McDermott showed 
for a flopped top pair.
The river 
changed nothing and McDermott added a big chunk to his stack with a gutsy call.
