That Escalated Quickly

Level 1 : 50/100, 0 ante

The flop was {4-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} with 3,000 already in the pot. Fiodar Skrunda was in the big blind and he checked it to Arman Atshemyan (from Armenia) who bet 2,000.

Fiodar Skrunda mulled it over for a short while before raising to 6,000 and then staring off to the side. Atshemyan looked a bit put out by this check-raise but after some thought he raised back to 10,000.

It was Skrunda��s turn to look unhappy but he nevertheless called the bet.

The turn card was the {4-Hearts} and a temporary truce was called between the two players as they checked it. The river was the {7-Hearts} and Skrunda checked for a final time.

Atshemyan bet 6,000 and grinned at his opponent. He was met with a grin in return and a reluctant call. Atshemyan showed the {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds} which beat the {q-Clubs}{q-Spades} of Skrunda.
