We came on this one on the turn, when Vitaly Lunkin was facing a tough decision. There was approximately 5,000 already in the middle, and the board showed . Lunkin's opponent had pushed out a bet of 2,500 from middle position. Lunkin, in the cutoff, thought for a minute before finally shrugging and letting his hand go.
The two-time WSOP bracelet winner has slipped to 25,500 here in the early going.
