Vladimir Geshkenbein Crumbling

Vladimir Geshkenbein -- currently much less happy than this picture suggests...
In what appears to be an epic meltdown in the making, former tournament chip leader Vladimir Geshkenbein is now down to just 320,000 in chips after a recent battle with new chip king Grant 'grunter' Levy.

Levy check-called bets of 40,000, 85,000 and 155,000 from Geshkenbein on the flop, turn and river as the board filled out {10-Spades}{2-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}.

Before he called the river bet, however, Levy asked, "Will you show?"

"If you call, I will show," replied Geshkenbein.

"If I fold?" Levy tried again.

Geshkenbein's next words were inaudible, but Levy's weren't:

"I call."

Geshkenbein motioned to Levy to show his cards, but Levy nodded right back, suggesting he paid to see the hand. Geshkenbein then slammed his cards face down on the table in disgust as Levy showed him the winning {K-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}.

Levy piled up just over 1.5 million in chips after the hand.
