Vladimir Shchemelev opened for 2,000 under the gun and Artur Koren two positions down made the call. Knut Nystedt in the small blind made the call and action was on Martin Mulsow in the big blind. Mulsow shoved all in for approximately 26,000 and Shchemelev quickly folded.
Koren wasn't so quick to lay his hand down though. He informed how much it was, asked how much Nystedt was playing (about 42,000), and then put a big stack of black 5,000 chips forward. Nystedt immediately folded.
Martin Mulsow: 
Artur Koren:
The 
flop was no direct help to Mulsow. He picked up some outs with the on the turn, but the 
was the wrong kind of black and Koren could start stacking.
