Lunkin Takes it Down Without a Showdown
Vitaly Lunkin raised to 250 preflop and received calls from the players in the blinds. It went check-check on the 
flop and Lunkin fired out 500. The small blind folded, but the big blind opted to make the call.
Both players then checked the 
turn, leading to the 
river. The big blind tried to take control of the pot by betting 750, but Lunkin wrested it back with a raise to 2,000. The big blind thought better of it and tossed his hand to the muck.
