Morgenstern's Hero Call Fails
Level 12
: 1,200/2,400, 400 ante
On a 
board, Anton Morgenstern had checked the river to Aliaksei Boika. The Belarusian EPT13 Malta winner moved ten T-5,000 chips forward, which was about Morgenstern's remaining stack.
Morgenstern entered a deep tank of over two minutes, sacrificing most of his time bank in the process. With mere seconds left, Morgenstern made up his mind and sternly said "call".
Aliaksei Boika: 
Anton Morgenstern: 
Morgenstern heroic call with just a pair of fives was miles behind Boika's trip eights and the German headed for the rail.
