Khoroshenin Spends Five Minutes in the Tank

[user196676]

Level 21 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Action folded to Oleksii Khoroshenin in the small blind and he raised the action to 55,000. Scott Seiver called from the big blind and the two took a flop.

The dealer fanned and Khoroshenin checked. Seiver fired out a bet of 70,000 and action fell back on Khoroshenin. He reached for chips, grabbing two extra T25,000 chips and dropping out 120,000 instead of the 70,000 for a call. The floor was called over and it was ruled as a raise, forcing Khoroshenin to make it 140,000 to go. Action was suddenly back on Seiver.

"If I re-raise here are you going to with ace-jack?" asked Seiver. "This is an interesting spot."

Seiver thought some more.

"Are you going to let it go?" he continued. "I guess I'll have to find out the hard way. I'll make it 275."

With that, Seiver raised the action to 275,000 total. Action was back on Khoroshenin and the minutes ticked by off of the clock. Once he had been in the tank for roughly five minutes, Seiver asked the floor staff for time to be called. Khoroshenin was given one minute to act or else his hand would be declared dead. With roughly two seconds to go in his final minute, Khoroshenin picked up his cards and dropped them into the muck. Seiver tabled the and mucked his second card.
