Khoroshenin Makes the Right Call

Level 5 : 200/400, 400 ante

EPT 2014 Vienna Main Event champion Oleksii Khoroshenin and Benny Glaser were involved in a battle of the blinds and a bigger pot of around 19,000 had emerged. The completed board showed {K-Spades}{7-Spades}{2-Hearts}{8-Spades}{10-Hearts} and Khoroshenin checked with a stack of around 22,000.

Glaser bet 10,100 and that sent Khoroshenin deep into the think tank. He eventually called and Glaser turned over {A-Hearts}{8-Hearts}, which ended up second-best to the {8-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} of Khoroshenin.
