After a couple of pots where first Vladimir Geshkenbein and then Denis Murphy both won the blinds and antes, Geshkenbein opened to 80,000 from UTG. Cristian Dragomir then made it 200,000 in middle position and it was folded back to the Russian.
"How much are you playing?" inquired Geshkenbein.
"I started the hand with 1.3 million, about 1.3 I think."
Geshkenbein made the call to see a 
flop which both players checked, then they also checked the 
turn as well before the Russian lead out for 277,000 on the 
river.
Unexpectedly, Dragomir now raised to 690,000 which represented over half his remaining stack. Geshkenbein looked put out.
"What the hell is that? What can you have? How can you play it like this?" said Geshkenbein muttering to himself. Curiosity got the better of him and he called the additional 413,000 only to muck when Dragomir turned over a very slowly played pair of 
.
Geshkenbein drops to just around 1 million, Dragomir is over 2 million.
