Vladimir Geshkenbein didn't get the memo about a slowdown in the action. He certainly has a penchant for big pots, and boy does he hate folding. We caught up with one hand as he four-bet all in on the button. The Dbinder Singh snap called in the small blind. "Ooh, I really didn't want that," said Geshkenbein, knowing his 
was in bad shape without needing to see Singh's 
. The board ran out 
, and Geshkenbein paid off Singh to the tune of 25,000.
The very next hand, a player in early position opened to 1,600. Another man flatted the raise, and then Geshkenbein squeezed to 4,000. The original raiser folded, but the second player swiftly moved all in. Geshkenbein called with

flop, perhaps knowing what was coming. The

on the river made Geshkenbein's straight. His opponent fell to his knees next to the table, pulling his sweatshirt over his head and rocking back and forth in agony.

After the suckout, Geshkenbein stacked up 101,000 chips, putting him back atop the leader board.
