Hand #69 - Mikhail Tulchinskiy

Dag Mikkelsen raises from the small blind to 360,000. Mikhail Tulchinskiy, looking every bit the Russian, matches the bet. It's another big and coordinated flop, {Q-Hearts} {10-Diamonds} {10-Hearts}. Mikkelsen quickly checks, drawing a half-pot bet of 360,000 from Tulchinskiy. Dag calls.

The deck and the dealer conspire to produce the {3-Hearts} on the turn. Both players check that card; the {8-Spades} then hits the river. Dag Mikkelsen bets 1.1 million and is snap-called, which can't be good for him. He shows down top pair, {Q-Diamonds} {4-Clubs}; Tulchinskiy has that handily beat with {J-Clubs} {10-Clubs}, trip tens.
