He's From Russia

We walked up to the table to see a board of {Q-Clubs} {4-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds} {10-Clubs} {Q-Hearts} spread out, and about 8,500 chips in the pot. Vanessa Rousso had checked, and Dmitry Motorov had moved all in for 8,000, enough to cover Rousso. She was in the tank when we spotted the hand in progress.

After a couple minutes of thinking it over, Rousso asked, "Where are you from?" but her opponent didn't respond. Finally, she tossed her last 5,000 into the pot to put herself at risk.

Motorov showed her {Q-Spades} {10-Spades} for the full-house-turned-quads. "Is that all?" Rousso asked, flinging her cards into the muck. "Did you know that I had jacks or no?" She stood up from the table and gathered her things.

Motorov finally spoke: "I'm from Russia," was the only thing he said, and Rousso headed for the rail.
