Kocman Makes Hero Call on the River

Level 30
: Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Nick Kocman raised to 350,000 from under the gun and Alan Gendelman defended in the big blind.
The flop came Q?5?10? and both players checked to the 9? turn.
Gendelman check-raised to 850,000 over Kocman's bet of 275,000 and Kocman called.
The river landed the Q? and Gendelman fired out a sizable bet of 2,200,000, prompting Kocman to go into the tank.
Kocman eventually made the call and Gendelman flashed the K?, indicating that he had king-high. Kocman tabled K?9? for two pair, queens and nines, to scoop the pot.
