Russian Comrades

Alexander Kumin and Andrey Zaichenko two Russian players not only happened to make it this far in the tournament together, but also managed to draw the same table together. Not knowing each other before the tournament both players share insight at breaks speaking in Russian together.

In this particular hand the two were facing off against one another, Zaichenko started the hand out by raising by raising under the gun. He soon received a call from Kuzmin in the big blind. A flop of {4-Hearts}{A-Clubs}{10-Spades} was spread on the felt and Kuzmin check-called a bet from Zaichenko.

The turn was a {A-Diamonds} and again Kuzmin check-called Zaichenko's bet. When we got to the river both players switched to a different gear as Kuzmin raised maxing out the betting. Zaichenko called and showed the table {A-}{Q-} for a full house. Kuzmin mucked.
