Russian to Victory

Ilya Nikiforov fired a very substantial bet of 5,025 on the turn of a :::5s:::3d:::4s:::Kc board. Why was it so substantial? Because Nikiforov had overbet the pot, which had only 4,000 in it at the time. Laurent Polito was his opponent and the Frenchman clearly took the size of the bet into account, opting for a careful fold against his Russian opponent, though not without some considerable thought.
