"No spade, huh?" he asked Bleznick, who ignored him.

"Look at this hand!" Bleznick shouted to anyone that would listen. "Deuce-three of spades! This is how the Russians do it!"

Fellow Russian Alex Kravchenko had wandered over at this point to see what the commotion was all about. He clapped Kakhmazov on the back in support, and chuckled at Bleznick's filibuster.

Bleznick sat back down, and turned to the Russian with a serious look on his face.

"I have no problem with you," Belznick told him, sincerely. "Your play is bad."
