Hand #32 - Mikhail Tulchinskiy

[user75032]

Eric Qu is under the gun and, curiously, minimum-raises to 200,000. Daniel Zink calls, setting us up for a squeeze from one of the later-to-act players. Mikhail Tulchinksiy also calls as wel for three-way flop of {A-Spades}

. Everyone checks to the turn, which falls {8-Spades}

. Tulchinskiy is first to act and bets just less than half the pot, 275,000. Qu calls rather quickly; Zink folds.

The river looks like a blank, the {2-Hearts}

. Tulchinskiy doesn't like something about the hand; he checks to Qu, who fires a healthy bet of 700,000 into the pot. It looks like Tulchinskiy wants to call but may be talking himself out of it. He tanks for several minutes, absent-mindedly shuffling chips. Qu leans back in his chair and scratches the back of his neck vigorously -- a sign of swine flu? Someone calls for a clock, inducing a snap-call from Tulchinskiy with {10-Clubs}
