Hand #69 - Mikhail Tulchinskiy

[user75032]

Dag Mikkelsen raises from the small blind to 360,000. Mikhail Tulchinskiy, looking every bit the Russian, matches the bet. It's another big and coordinated flop, {Q-Hearts}

{Q-Hearts}

{10-Diamonds}

{10-Hearts}

. Mikkelsen quickly checks, drawing a half-pot bet of 360,000 from Tulchinskiy. Dag calls.

The deck and the dealer conspire to produce the {3-Hearts}

{3-Hearts}

on the turn. Both players check that card; the {8-Spades}

{8-Spades}

then hits the river. Dag Mikkelsen bets 1.1 million and is snap-called, which can't be good for him. He shows down top pair, {Q-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

{4-Clubs}

; Tulchinskiy has that handily beat with {J-Clubs}

{J-Clubs}

{10-Clubs}

, trip tens.
