Yury Gulyy

There was an open to 2,500 and a call from Yury Gulyy before the small blind called and action was on Dmitriy Ponomarev in the big blind.

Gulyy called over to Ponomarev and seemed to be encouraging him to make the call. Ponomarev did call and four player saw a flop of {k-Spades}{6-Clubs}{9-Hearts}.

The action was checked to Gulyy who bet 3,500 which got a fold from the small blind and a long hard stare from Ponomarev.

Gulyy again addressed Ponomarev before breaking out on a laugh which got a grin in return. It also got a check-raise to 12,500 from Ponomarev.

The original raiser folded and Gully let out a deep sigh, which got Ponomarev sighing in imitation.

Gulyy asked for a count of Ponomarev stack and found it was 20,000. A quick count of his own stack and Gulyy set him in and got a call.

Ponomarev: {k-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}
Gulyy: {k-Clubs}{j-Hearts}

The turn was the {4-Diamonds} and the river the {6-Hearts}.

“Full house,” Ponomarev said.
