Like Father, Like Son

[user101598]

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Goran Mandic opened to 4,200 from the cutoff, Andrey Gulyy three-bet to 11,000 out of the small blind, and Mandic responded with a four-bet to 25,700.

While Gulyy was in the tank, his father Yury wandered over from an adjacent table to sweat his son.

Mandic snap-mucked, and the younger Gulyy shipped the pot.
