Shepsky Makes Massive Hero Call
Jeremy Kerbel limped in from the button, Christopher Vitch did the same from the small blind, and Matthew Shepsky checked in the big blind.
On the 6♦3♦K♥ flop, action checked to Kerbel, who put in a bet of 2,000,000. Vitch got out of the way, but Shepsky made the call.
Shepsky checked again on the A♦ turn, and Kerbel didn't slow down, announcing a bet of 6,500,000. After some thought, his opponent called to see the A♣ river.
Shepsky checked for a third time, and Kerbel fired out a bet of 11,000,000, which sent Shepsky deep into the tank. After a good two minutes of thinking, he slid forward a stack to represent a call.
"Good call," murmered Kerbel, as he sheepishly held on to his cards. The onus was on him to show, and when prompted by the dealer he tabled K♦Q♥7♣5♥ for two pair. Shepsky showed 10♥9♦8♦2♥ for the eight-high flush, as he scooped the massive pot to grow his chip lead over the table.
