Khatri Doubles To "Live To Fight Another Day"

Bhavin Khatri went all in for his last 72,000 in the cutoff and action made its way around to Viktor Ustimov, who called from the big blind.

Bhavin Khatri:
Viktor Ustimov:

Khatri was out in front but needed to fade Ustimov's two live cards to stay alive. The flop took away one of those outs as he picked up the nut flush draw, but he wouldn't need it as the turn and river left Ustimov's hand unmade, giving Khatri an unnecessary pair of aces en route to a much-needed double. Ustimov shipped some T25,000 chips Khatri's way to pay the double.

"It doesn't feel like a double with these chips," said Khatri with a laugh and a smile. He then got back to business: "Live to fight another day," he announced as the next hand began.
