1 - It's a lot more helpful to post the whole game or a puzzle so we can play through the moves.
2 - 10...Ke2 is not possible on the board.
What's wrong with this move for black?
Sort:
he gets pushed out by Nf5 and then you have the knight guarding g7 to protect the incoming prawn fork

Sorry I meant 10...Ke7
I played this variation against a computer, and discovered the gambit myself, even though I later learned it was played in 3 previous master games recorded, and none of them played 10...Ke7
And many times as I pushed "Take back move" I could not get the computer program to play 10...Ke7.
If you go here http://www.chessok.com/?page_id=352 you shall discover why most computer programs will not accept pawn which allows the Boden Kieseritzky gambit, and instead will transpose to the Two Knights' Defense.
It is not totally sound for black, even though curiously enough there are hardly any modern grandmasters today who play the 3.) Nf3 variation with the white pieces or 3.) Bc4 against the boring Petroff or Russian Defense, which would also be called the Italian-Russian Opening.
