Pustovoi Profits From Song's Bluff
Level 4
: Blinds 200/500, 500 ante
At the newest table of the tournament, Yunkyu Song in the cutoff and Aleksandr Pustovoi on the button had created a pot of 17,000 preflop.
Song then fired bets of 2,400 on the A?A?5? flop and 3,600 on the 3? turn, being called by Pustovoi both times.
On the 2? river, he jammed all in, covering Pustovoi's stack of 11,500. Pustovoi quickly called off, prompting Song to table K?Q? for king-high.
Pustovoi had called down with A?Q?, and his trip aces won him the pot as he doubled up.
