Gerasimov Knows He's Good

Kirill Gerasimov defended his big blind from an early-position raise to see a 
flop. Gerasimov checked, and the raiser bet 650. He called it, and checked again when the 
turn completed the flush draw. His opponent checked behind. The river was the 
, putting three Broadway cards on the board. Gerasimov checked a third time, then called his opponent's 1,250.
"Do you have a straight?" asked the other player, not wanting to show. "He called you," another player at the table said, and the guy tabled 
for a turned pair of sixes. Gerasimov turned over 
for second pair to win the pot, and with it, a bit of respect from the table. He has 19,500 after that one.
