Ustinovich's Double Barrel Gets the Job Done

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Oleg Ustinovich made it 4,000 to go from the hijack and Fabio Peluso defended his big blind.

They went to a flop of 825 where Peluso checked, and Ustinovich went with an almost pot-sized bet of 8,000. Peluso called.

A Q on the turn brought in the front door flush draw and after Peluso checked, Ustinovich bet 14,000. That was enough to get the job done as Peluso quickly folded.
