We join a hand in progress on the flop with the first three community cards reading {6-Hearts}

. Heads up, Igor Yaroshevskiy checked, and Shaun Deeb fired out a bet of 1,350. Yaroshevskiy then check-raised to 3,200, and Deeb didn't waste much time making the call.

Fourth street brought the {7-Hearts}

, and the Ukrainian native kept the betting lead, sliding out 5,200 chips. Deeb sat statue-still for a minute or two before plucking the calling chips off his stack and flipping them across the betting line.

The last card off was the {9-Clubs}

. Yaroshevskiy eyed up his own stack, then that of his opponent. Both men had just less than 50,000 in front of them, and Yaroshevskiy was making all signs that he wanted to bet. And it looked like he wanted to bet big as he shuffled about 30,000 worth of yellows. After several long minutes though, he tapped the felt with one of those formerly shuffled chips. Deeb took that as his cue to bet, and he carefully selected 8,750 of them to throw out into the middle in a confetti-colored pile. Yaroshevskiy barely paused for effect before sending his cards back to the dealer, and Deeb couldn't resist opening up his {K-Clubs}
