Christopher Brammer opened with a 40,000 from middle position and Sergii Baranov called from the cutoff. The rest of the table folded and the two were heads up to the 
flop. Brammer check-called a bet of 57,000 and the turn brought the 
.
Brammer checked a second time and Baranov moved 105,000 into the middle. Once again Brammer decided to stick around to see the 
on the river. Brammer checked for a third time and Baranov bet 205,000. Brammer went into the tank for well over two minutes before finally releasing.
"He's just like Santa!" said Baranov as he turned over 
for nothing but queen-high.
