The Pot of the Day for Galustov
A huge pot just took place and it will probably determine the chipleader for Day 1b!
"Cossack" opened from hijack to 4,500, Marcel Galustov called from the cut-off and Georgios Pistofidis three-bet to 17,000. Both his opponents called and we are off to the flop.
were the first three community cards and "Cossack" checked, with Galustov announcing all in for 181.500! Pistofidis thought about it for a moment and he called with a stack of 89,000. "Cossack" looked like he couldn't believe what was happening but after a couple of minutes he called too!
Cossack: 
Galustov: 
Pistofidis: 
The pot's worth was 500,000 and the 
on the river was magical for Galustov and devastating for his opponents.
The 
on the river completed the board and Galustov celebrated his huge win, while "Cossack" was left very short and Pistofidis busted.
