Gesh Is More
We didn't think it was possible, but Vladimir Geshkenbein has actually upped the aggression, either raising or reraising three hands in a row.
The first hand didn't actually go his way - he opened to 35,000 under the gun and faced a reraise to 78,000 from Manile Iemino in the cutoff. He called, but check-folded to a 90,000 bet from Iemina on the flop.
Next hand, Karen Sarkisyan opened to 35,000 in the hijack, but Geshkenbein shoved from the small blind to cover him. Sarkisyan sadly contemplated his remaining 280,000 for a while before folding.
The hand after that, Kevin Vandersmissen min-raised from the button. Unintimidated by the huge mountain of chips in front of the chip leader, Geshkenbein reraised to 88,000, and Vandersmissen duly passed.
