Rankic Shows Rancor
Level 14
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Gennadiy Dvosis raised to 16,000 in the small blind and Marijan Rankic three-bet jammed in the big blind. Dvosis gave it some thought and called with a stack of 139,000.
Gennadiy Dvosis: 10♠10♥ 
Marijan Rankic: 9♣9♦
"Why did you tank with nines?" Rankic said in disgust. "Nine is coming!"
"If it's coming, it's coming," Dvosis said stoically.
As it turned out, the board ran out Q♣A♥2♦5♦10♣ for Dvosis to hit a third ten for an emphatic double, but Rankic still wasn't over the preflop action.
"He didn't slow roll you or nothin'," someone at the table said.
"I thought I was flipping," added Dvosis.
