Urbanovich Shoves Blind and Fills Up

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

With four players seeing a board of Q94 and over 100,000 already in the middle, Dzmitry Urbanovich checked in the small blind, Abdullah Alajmi checked in early position and Peng Yang checked in middle position. Berik Mussin bet from the cutoff to 16,500 only for Urbanovich to put in a check-raise to 70,000, forcing out Alajmi and Yang while Mussin made the call.

Urbanovich moved all in blind for 69,000 as the 9 turn was dealt. Mussin thought about his decision for roughly one minute before making the call with a covering stack to put Urbanovich at risk.

Dzmitry Urbanovich: 94
Berik Mussin: J8

Mussin had both a flush and straight draw but was drawing to only the ten of diamonds as Urbanovich had improved from a flopped two pair to a full house on the turn. The 2 river changed nothing for either player and Urbanovich dragged in a colossal pot while making a serious dent in Mussin's stack.
