Vaskaboinikau Has a Target on His Back
Level 10
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Mikalai Vaskaboinikau raised to 20,000 in the cutoff, and only Nicholas Seward called from the big blind.
Seward check-called a bet of 15,000 from Vaskaboinikau on the J♠4♦8♠ flop.
The 9♣ came on the turn, and Seward check-called a second bet from Vaskaboinikau, this time for 33,000.
After Seward checked the Q♦ river, Vaskaboinikau stared at the ceiling, used a time bank, and then fired a third barrel of 33,000. Seward folded, giving up the pot to Vaskaboinikau.
After the hand, because of the way the unknown player had folded, Vaskaboinikau jokingly said to him, "You want to kill me with the card."
The rest of the table laughed, and when silence eventually fell over the table, the unknown player replied in a deep, menacing voice.
"Next time."
