The turn is the 
and after Yifrach checks, Stepuchin bets 2,500. Yifrach says “that’s affordable” and calls.
On the river 
, Yifrach now leads for 3,700 and is quickly raised to 10,000 by Stepuchin. Yifrach comments that he can’t call and sends his cards to the muck.
As the pot is pushed to Stepuchin, he asks Yifrach if he’d like to see a card, saying “I strongly advise saying yes”. Yifrach agrees saying he’ll never turn down that offer. However instead of showing a card, Stpuchin playfully shows Yifrach his middle finger and pushes his cards to the muck.

Gal Yifrach – 45,100 (150 bb)
