Ace-High Hero Call Gets Ostash Back in Game

Tomasz Brzezinski limped in on the button. Mykhailo Ostash responded by raising to 425,000 in the big blind, and Brzezinski tossed in calling chips.

The 9♦10♠9♠ flop was checked through to the K♦ turn. After Ostash checked again, Brzezinski fired 550,000 into the pot. Ostash was not convinced yet, buying the 4♠ river with a call.

A third check followed from Ostash, who was then faced with an 850,000 bet by Brzezinski. Ostash went through the hand in his head before he elected to look up his opponent.

Brzezinski showed Q♣8♠ for queen-high, meaning Ostash was awarded the pot as he had called Brzezinski with A♥5♦ for ace-high.
