Vladimir Geshkenbein has shown throughout this tournament that he is not scared of splashing around in pots and this final table has been no different as he has just played the last three consecutive hands.
In the first hand he raised to 110,000 on the button but did not bank on Koen De Visscher coming over the top with a raise to 255,000. Geshkenbein then counted his own stack before asking how many chips De Visscher had, which turned out to be 1,450,000. Geshkenbein then commented on the fact De Visscher had not made many three-bets so far today and then folded, asking De Visscher to show, but he declined.
The next hand Giacomo Maisto raised to 105,000, Geshkenbein made it 250,000 to play and when the action folded back to Maisto he put in a further raise, this one to 605,000, which saw the aggressive Russian instantly fold.
Finally, on the next hand he raised to 110,000 and picked up the blinds and antes.
