This is a hand from Sunday Kickoff between two Russian MTT regulars who presumably have a lot of unknown history with each other, but not in this particular tournament. Mikleler is considered to be more on a tight side, Hero is more splashy and aggressive and tries to outplay his opponents. Both are profitable players at these stakes. Hero just doubled up, and this is his first raise at the table.

A topic about this hand on a Russian forum already reached 8 pages. The big question is: who played this hand worse? Can we justify calling a 3bet with 6-4? Can we justify Mikleler's flop line? We don't know their reads on each other, is it important here?
