Kolotiuk Gets No Callers But 30 Pushups

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Roman Kolotiuk moved all in for 110,000 as action folded to El Khoury Gabriel.

"If you fold I will do 20 pushups," Kolotiuk said as Gabriel tanked for a moment before folding. Seref Dursun Anar also asked for a count as he thought about the decision.

"If you fold I will do 10 more," Kolotiuk told him before Dursun Anar, as well, folded. Kolotiuk then got up from his seat and started doing the pushups as the entire room began counting. Once he reached 30 he was greeted with a round of applause.

"Poker is a sport," a tablemate said as a now-tired Kolotiuk sat back down.

On the next hand, Kolotiuk again moved all in, this time for 140,000, and showed two tens when the rest of the table folded.
