The 'Bein of Tureniec's Life

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 400 ante

Vladimir Geshkenbein has been catapulted towards the very top of the chip counts after doubling up through Michael Tureniec.

Everyone folded to to Geshkenbein in the cutoff seat and he made it 9,000 to play. Tureniec, on the button, responded with a raise of his own, this one to 24,000. Usually this would be enough to end the hand but Geshkenbein had other ideas and made it 62,000 to play!

Tureneic then checked his card and announced "I'm all-in" and was instantly called by the hyper-aggressive Russian.

Geshkenbein:{a-Spades}{k-Hearts}
Tureniec:{j-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}

The flop came down {10-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{3-Spades} keeping Geshkenbein in the lead. The turn was the {a-Clubs} which locked up the hand for Geshkenbein rendering the {q-Spades} on the river meaningless.

Tureniec sat motionless whilst Geshkenbein celebrated his huge pot, "There you go. Back to Sweden," said a rather unsporting Geshkenbein, "Back to Sweden."

"Is this your first time playing live?" quizzed a dejected Tureniec.

Geshkenbein now has 590,000 whilst Tureneic plummets to 110,000
