Morgenstern's Hero Call Fails

Level 12 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

On a {5-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{A-Diamonds} board, Anton Morgenstern had checked the river to Aliaksei Boika. The Belarusian EPT13 Malta winner moved ten T-5,000 chips forward, which was about Morgenstern's remaining stack.

Morgenstern entered a deep tank of over two minutes, sacrificing most of his time bank in the process. With mere seconds left, Morgenstern made up his mind and sternly said "call".

Aliaksei Boika: {8-Spades}{6-Spades}
Anton Morgenstern: {5-Clubs}{4-Clubs}

Morgenstern heroic call with just a pair of fives was miles behind Boika's trip eights and the German headed for the rail.
