Anton Smacks the Flop to Triple
Ionel Anton was all in from early position for around 40,000 and was called by Maksim Skripkin on the button. Dmitry Yurasov, in the big blind, reshoved and Skripkin gave it some thought before folding.
Ionel Anton: 
Dmitry Yurasov: 
Anton was dominated until the 
flop gave him trip nines. The board ran out 
and Anton finished with a full house to triple up.
"I beat you," Skripkin told him after the hand.
"Yes, but he's my friend. Where are you from, Uzbekistan?" Anton replied.
"Russia," Skripkin answered.
"You look like you're from Uzbekistan. How do you beat me? What do you have?" continued Anton.
Skripkin replied that he folded queens. "Get the f**k out, you folded queens. You have 700 K and you folded queens," Anton said as the two players shared a laugh.
