Ustimov, Al-Khasrab Love to Gamble

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,500, 3,500 ante

Zaid Al-Khasrab three-bet to 25,000 from the button as action folded back to original raiser Viktor Ustimov, who announced he was all in.

"I love to gamble," Al-Khasrab said.

"I love gamble, too," Ustimov replied as the two players exchanged a fist pump before Al-Khasrab called.

Ustimov showed {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} and was ahead of the {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts} of Al-Khasrab. The board ran out {5-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} and Ustimov's queens were good enough to win the pot.

The stacks were counted down and Ustimov barely had Al-Khasrab's remaining 160,000 covered, sending him to the rail.
