Zhuk Talking and Playing

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Aliaksei Zhuk was talking in Russian between hands with Andrey Gulyy when they were reprimanded by the dealer. A passing floor man was called however and he clarified that it was English only during hands. If the dealer was shuffling then anything goes. Zhuk explained that it was tiring speaking English all day and welcomed the chat in Russian between hands.

Aliaksei Zhuk then opened the pot for 3,900 and was called by Angel Guillen on the button and Philippe Barouk in the big blind.

They saw a flop of {8-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{7-Hearts} and it was checked to Guillen who bet 6,700. Barouk folded but Zhuk made the call. The turn {9-Spades} was checked and when the river came the {2-Hearts} Zhuk bet 10,000.

Guillen was thinking about it but in the end he made the fold.
