Ustimov Shoves River and Wins Big Pot
Level 4
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Jon Vallinas Santos raised to 3,500 from middle position, Felipe Fontoura Ketzer called in late position, and Viktor Ustimov called in the big blind.
The flop came 8♥3♦3♣ and Ustimov checked. Santos continued with a bet of 3,000 and Ketzer called. Ustimov then check-raised to 11,500 and only Santos called.
The turn was the 4♥ and Ustimov sized up to 28,000, a bet which Santos called. The river came the Q♣ and Ustimov shoved all in.
Santos got the count and was covered. He used a time bank and decided to fold, giving Ustimov a significant pot that increased his chip count to over twice the starting stack.
