Baranov is a Calling Station

Philip Sternheimer had 32,600 in front of him with the board reading {8-Clubs}{a-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}, and Sergii Baranov raised to well over 100,000. Sternheimer tanked for the better part of a minute, then folded.

Baranov told Sternheimer that he could see one card, and Sternheimer pointed to the card on Baranov's right. He turned over the {q-Spades}, and mucked both cards.

"If you shove," fellow Russian Andrey Zaichenko piped him. "He will snap-fold."

Zaichenko and Baranov both laughed.

"No," Baranov responded. "You guys know me - I'm a calling station."
