Kharkov Makes A Loose Call
Level 15
: 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Eli Ross raised to 9,000, Alexander Kharkov called one seat over and Ben Yu called from the cutoff. Dragos Trofimov, on the button, rose up from his chair to check what was happening at the other tables. He then shoved all in for 45,000.
Ross folded, Kharkov called with relative ease, and Yu folded after some thought.
Dragos Trofimov: 
Alexander Kharkov: 
"Ooh!" Trofimov and Kharkov both exclaimed and they laughed. Kharkov, who was chip leader for a long-time today, found a connection on the 
flop but Trofimov faded the spades on the 
turn and 
river.
"Man, what a sweat against you!" Trofimov said in relief. "Even with this, I don't want a call," he said, pointing at his kings.
