Joe Cassidy sick call

I'd bet heavily on some sort of tell that tipped this call. From a purely cards perspective it looks like a retarded call.

From the Cardplayer report he was getting about 2-1, needing to put 250k more into the pot on his call with the hammer. Those things have been shown to be way off in the past as far as what the action was on the hand, but if it's right, wow.

I agree, the board has three to a flush and three to a straight. I'd like to hear from some pros as to why they would call because from my point of view calling with Ace high is terrible. It looks like A4-A2 are the only reasonable hands that he would be ahead of.
