As players gathered around the feature table for the restart of the $50,000 High Roller final table, Anatoly Zlotnikov had one last item on his pre-game checklist.
A few minutes before cards went in the air, the Russian wandered over to Phil Hellmuth and asked the WSOP's all-time bracelet winner for a good-luck fist bump.
Given the heater he's been on lately, it's hard to imagine Zlotnikov needing any extra luck.
The 32-year-old returns to the final six with more than half the chips in play and nearly three times as many as his closest challenger, Santhosh Suvarna. Yet despite sitting in one of the most commanding positions of the summer, plenty of poker fans are still asking the same question:
Who exactly is Anatoly Zlotnikov?

He finally made the call, leading them to the turn. The turn fell 5♠ and Sitbon kept the pressure with a 31,000 bet. Unfazed, Roiter hung on.
Sitbon finally placed 109,000, sending Roiter to the tank. He took considerable time to think of his options, even setting aside the chips for a possible call. He eventually mucked his hand and left the pot for Sitbon to scoop.
