Kalevra Doubles After Goading His Opponent Into a Call

Action was on the river on a board of 2♠A♥A♠6♠2♦ and Kelevra had pushed his chips into the middle almost before the last card was dealt. Ehny was in the tank when Kelevra started goading his opponent and applying verbal pressure.

Unfortunately, this reporter is far from fluent in French, but he did say, "Alex, pass the cards" a few times during his little rant. Kelevra had been playing extremely aggressively throughout the day, his stack fluctuating wildly, giving Ehny even more reason to make the call on what was essentially a polarized range on the board.

Eventually, Ehny flicked in a chip to make the call, only for Kelevra to turn over A♦5♥ for a full house, aces full of deuces.. Ehny had 8♠6♣, a brave bluff catching call. This time though, Kelevra had it and doubled up his stack.
