Tsouloftas Spikes Turn to Bust Ivanov
Level 17
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Lyudmil Ivanov opened to 12,000 from early position and was faced with a three-bet to 31,000 by Georgios Tsouloftas in middle position.
Action folded back to Ivanov, who took some time to think before four-bet jamming for around 165,000 total. After some thought Tsouloftas made the call with the covering stack.
Lyudmil Ivanov: 9♠9♦ 
Georgios Tsouloftas: A♣Q♠
Ivanov was ahead with his pocket nines, and remained so after the K♣10♣5♦ flop, although his opponent also picked up a gutshot to go with his overcards.
The A♥ rolled off on the turn to put Tsouloftas ahead, and Ivanov could not find the required nine on the 7♠ river. Ivanov tapped the table and wished his opponents good luck as he departed.
