Two Pair for Voulgaris

donpeters

On the {A-Clubs} {K-Diamonds} {3-Clubs} {2-Spades} board, Haralabos Voulgaris bet 11,000. Ferit Gabriellson made the call and the river completed the board with the {7-Diamonds} . Voulgaris bet 30,000 and Gabriellson began to tank.

After a couple of minutes of tanking from Gabriellson, Voulgaris leaned forward and extended his cards towards the muck with his right arm, but kept them held by his hand. He put his forehead down on his left arm that was rested on the table. Gabriellson looked at him funny and then asked, "What are you doing?"

"I'm just trying to speed up the process, buddy. I'm either going to muck my hand or turn it over and I want to make it as fast as possible," responded Voulgaris. "Take as long as you want, but I just want to speed it up."

Eventually, Gabriellson made the call and Voulgaris turned over the {A-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds} for two pair. Gabriellson mucked and Voulgaris won the pot.
