There were four players -- and about 3,600 in the middle -- when the flop came . An early position player checked, then Nikolay Evdakov pushed out a pink (1,000) and purple chip (500) for a less-than-half-pot bet. An opponent in the cutoff looked Evdakov over, then raised to 4,500, causing the other two to fold.
The action back on Evdakov, he wasted little time grabbing two yellow (5,000) chips to reraise to 10,000. His opponent thought for about a minute, then let it go.
