Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

Poker can be a serious business. A bit too serious sometimes. Agshin Rasulov from Azerbaijan and Alexander Timokhin from Czech Republic were in a pot together and joking around about having tells on each other. The dealer reminded them not to take it too far though.

The flop they were looking at was {j-Clubs}{10-Spades}{q-Clubs} and big blind Rasulov had bet 2,850. “Why so much?” Timokhin wanted to know, laughing. He made the call and they saw a turn {6-Hearts} which they both checked.

Timokhin now checked in the dark to see a river {10-Clubs} and when Rasulov also checked he was dismayed to see the {10-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} of Timokhin. The reason was clear when he showed his {q-Diamonds}.
