Ustinovich Doubles Through Tasoev, Then Eliminates Him

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

In the cutoff, Eduard Tasoev opened, then Oleg Ustinovich in the small blind three-bet all in for 225,000 chips. The big blind folded, and action came back to Tasoev who took some time before eventually calling.

Oleg Ustinovich: AK
Eduard Tasoev: AQ

On J773A, Ustinovich had no issue to double up. A few hands later, there was another “all in and call” situation between the two players.

Eduard Tasoev: A8
Oleg Ustinovich: KK

Once again, the winning hand was in Ustinovich’s hands as his kings held on 5Q9J2, leading to Tasoev’s elimination.
