Who is the Lunk on the Rail?

[user76023]

With two Russians on the same table now (Kravchenko and Rabtsov), a couple more of their compatriots have turned up to rail them including the winner of the $40,000 event, Vitaly Lunkin.

All of this is of great amusement to Roland de Wolfe, who keeps waving to him and pointing at him every 30 seconds saying, "Lunkin Park!"
