Okhotskyi Best Lunkin in Two Hands

Is it a coincidence that Ukraine's Oleh Okhotskyi Ukraine hat and that today's player bracelet (which allows players access to the Hofburg Palace) are both in his country's colors? Could it be a sign? Seems silly, but then again, Okhotskyi is not only sticking around, he's chipping up!

In a recent hand, Vitaly Lunkin raised to 80,000 from the button and a short-stacked Okhotskyi called from the big blind. When the flop fell , Okhotskyi moved all in for 263,000 and Lunkin called.

Okhotskyi had defended with a weak hand, but it paid off when the flop gave him two pair. The turn changed nothing, and while the river paired Lunkin, it didn't pair the card he needed. Okhotskyi doubled through the Russian.

The next time Okhotskyi was in the big blind, Lunkin once again raised, but this time he made it 100,000. Okhotskyi decided to defend once again, and then both players checked the flop. Okhotskyi proceeded to check-call a bet of 130,000 on the turn, and then he check-called one of 150,000 on the river.
