A wild series of preflop action has just seen Yuri Siniak add 30,000 chips to his stack without even seeing a flop.
Randall Emmett opens in early position to 2,200. He gets called by Yuri Siniak to his immediate left, chip leader Valeriy Pak on the button and the small blind.
The big blind then three-bets to 12,000 which gets snap-called by Emmett before Siniak now moves all in for 48,400.
This gets folds from Pak and the blinds before action returns to Emmett who is baffled by the action in the hand.
After a solid monologue about the caliber of his opponents’ play, Emmett tells Siniak he likes him so much that he’ll fold his hand to him, which he does.
After the dust settles, Siniak collects about 30,000 chips to add to his 48,000 without even seeing a flop.
Yuri Siniak – 78,000 (97 bb)
Valeriy Pak – 338,000 (422 bb)
Randall Emmett – 70,000 (87 bb)
