Adolfo Balado from Spain is one of the older players in the tournament today and from what we have seen of him he is not afraid to call light if he think his opponents are trying to push him around. He faced off in a pot against Russian EPT regular Dmitry Yurasov with the final board reading .
Balado was in the big blind and checked it to Yurasov who languidly bet 4,500 and remained expressionless, his heavy lidded eyes giving nothing away but perhaps provoking some suspicion from Baldo who weighed it up and made the call.
