Geshkenbein Showing Guts

Vladimir Geshkenbein just proved to everyone watching the finale of the High Roller's Event why he's worth watching as much as heads-up opponent Johnny Chan.

Chan limped in from the button, Geshkenbein raised another 75,000 and Chan made the call.

The flop came {7-Spades}

and Geshkenbein led out with a bet of 150,000; Chan quickly called.

Both players checked the {7-Diamonds}

on the turn.

The last card off the deck was the {6-Clubs}

and Geshkenbein checked to Chan who bet 200,000. Geshkenbein then instantly moved all in, putting Chan to a decision for all of his chips and he opted to wait for a better spot.

Geshkenbein, who Chan has dubbed "The Russian Bomber," (despite the fact that we think Vladimir might be Swiss), tabled {A-Spades}

for nothing but ace-high.
