Istomin is Chasing the Big Stacks
Level 15
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Heads-up to the A♦7♣6♣Q♦ turn, David D'Alessandro bet 21,000 in the big blind. Aleksei Istomin then raised to 61,000 on the button and that sent his opponent into the tank. D'Alessandro fiddled with calling chips but ultimately ended up folding.
"Why did you change your mind?" Istomin inquired in the table chat but received no clear answer.
D'Alessandro is one of two bigger stacks on the same table behind Ljubomir Josipovic but Istomin may close the gap soon if he continues to trend upwards.
