Player Makes Hero Call vs. Alexander Kostritsyn

With over 40,000 in the pot, on a board of {Q-Spades} {10-Diamonds} {3-Clubs} {6-Hearts} {2-Hearts} Alex Kostritsyn bet 33,000 from under the gun.

His opponent in late position went into the tank for several minutes, trying to get Kostritsyn to talk to him. After asking his name, and subsequently why he wouldn't talk to him, he gave up and simply asked the dealer to spread the pot.

Eventually, he said "I call" and slammed {10-Hearts} {9-Clubs} to the felt for second pair.

Alex Kostritsyn mucked his hand after his failed bluff attempt, leaving him with 82,000.
