Salman Behbehani is known for many things - mostly good - but is also known for being a serial slow roller, albeit always in jest . He most famously did it to Daniel Negreanu at EPT London in Season 10.

The problem is that when you gain that kind of reputation, you become a target. Behbehani just busted to Igor Kurganov in a pretty standard pot with a little twist.

The two were heads up to the river of a {k-Spades}{6-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{7-Clubs} board and Kurganov checked to face a bet of 7,500 from Behbehani. He took his time and then check-raised enough to put Behbehani all in for his remaining 23,000 or so. Behbehani wasn't too happy but made the call all in and when he did, Kurganov flinched as if receiving bad news.

"Flush?" inquired Behbehani.

"Damn, you called it!" responded Kurganov as he opened {a-Spades}{5-Spades}.

"So bad!" said Behbehani, pitying his opponent's efforts as he opened his {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}.

"Called it too good," Kurganov came back.

Behbehani and Kurganov were giggling through this whole exchange and former is contemplating re-entering.
