Kenjic Hero-Calls Ripnick's Overbet

Level 1
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Heads-up to the turn with 25,000 in the middle, the board read K?10?9?4? as Jovan Kenjic checked from the big blind to John Ripnick on the button who fired for 15,000 and Kenjic put in the call.
On the J? river, Kenjic checked for a third time to Ripnick who put in an overbet of 75,000. Kenjic would tank for around two minutes before he flicked in the call.
John Ripnick: A?5?
Jovan Kenjic: J?8?
Ripnick was bluffing while Kenjic made the right call with second pair to drag a sizeable pot early in the day.
