Khoroshenin Crushes McKeehen

Oleksii Khoroshenin has taken the chip lead in the $25,000 High Roller tournament after calling a river bet against former WSOP Main Event winner Joe McKeehen.

The board was showing and McKeehen had bet 20,000 into a pot of 35,000. Khoroshenin went into the tank, but after being stared down for around five minutes, made the right call. McKeehen showed , but the ace kicker to the two pair on board for Khoroshenin's was good enough to bump up the big stack he already had.
