Margolin Eliminates Ismail with Failed Hero Call
Level 10
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
On a heads-up completed board of 
, Timur Margolin had bet out 40,000 into the substantial pot of 60,000.
His opponent, Ahmad Ismail, who would be all in if he called, was in the tank and visibly at odds with himself.
"I want to hero call here, I don't have an ace," Ismail said around, seemingly trying to talk himself into calling.
After a few more moments, Ismail slammed his chips in the middle to call but was then shown the bad news when Margolin turned over 
for top pair of aces. Ismail sighed and flashed 
before sending it into the muck and exiting the tournament.
