Esenkulov is all Heart
We caught the action on the river with the board reading 
and a sizable amount of chips already in the center of the table.
Sitting in the cutoff Esenkulov has a bet totaling roughly 12,500 or so out on the felt and is facing an all-in from button Qifeng Duan.
��Will you fold if I show?�� quizzed Esenkulov.
��Hmm, ok you did show me you had queens earlier,�� replied Duan.
��I��m going to fold this then,�� said Esenkulov, rolling over 
for a small heart flush. The rest of the table looked perplexed until Duan obligingly turned over 
.
��Nice fold man,�� said Duan as he raked in the pot.
That canny fold saved the Russian a hell of a lot of chips �C many players would have happily called off there but then it��s just like Kenny Rogers says (or sings) poker is all about knowing when to hold��em and knowing when to fold��em.
