Call of the Week from Vladimir Troyanovski

Level 8 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

"WHAT!!!" shouted Philipp Gruissem after he saw what hand Vladimir Troyanovski called all in with against Dani Stern.

Troyanovski and Stern had made it to the turn with 360,000 already in the middle and the board read {j-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{2-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}. Stern was first to act from under the gun and his move was an all in one. Troyanovsky had 255,500 left in his locker and went deep into the tank. He thought for seven or eight minutes before he called.

Stern: {a-Spades}{q-Spades} for ace-queen high.
Troyanovski: {6-Clubs}{6-Hearts} for a lowly pair of sixes!

The river came {4-Diamonds} and Stern dropped all the way down to 120,000.

"You know you called with sixes, right?" asked Gruissem. "These are not pocket nines," he continued, now holding the cards in his hand. The whole table was stunned.
