Geshkenbein Tries to Predict the Future
After the excitement of the two consecutive double ups by Giacomo Maisto early on at this final table, the players seem to have lost some momentum and are now happy to settle matters preflop.
That said, Vladimir Geshkenbein is trying his best to create some action, first pleading with Maisto to call his raise and "see a flop. You know you want to." He didn't and he folded.
Then the next hand it folded around to Kevin Vandersmissen on the button and before he could act Geshkenbein said, "I am thinking 80" and sure enough Vandersmissen made it 80,000 to play. Geshkenbein quickly called and it was heads up to the 
flop.
"What am I going to do now?" quizzed Geshkenbein
"Check call for sure," came the reply. "How much should I bet now then?" asked Vandersmissen.
"I'd say you'll bet 90"
Close but no cigar as Geshkenbein check-called an 84,000 bet.
The turn saw the 
show up and again the young Russian checked but this time he folded when Vandersmissen bet 120,000.
It could get quite interesting down there as Geshkenbein, who has already finished a vodka and lemon, has now started to drink what looks like a rather large whiskey!
