Abakirov Shoves Short Stack, Finds Three Callers

Level 5 : Blinds 700/1,500, 1,500 ante

A player under the gun raised to 3,500 before Kubanychbek Abakirov moved all in for his last 5,500. Roman Kolotiuk called in the cutoff before action folded to Arthur Kim in the small blind.

Kim asked if he could raise over the top of Abakirov's all in, and the floor had to be called to the table. He eventually just called, as did the original raiser.

All three players in the side pot checked the {j-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{8-Spades} flop before Kolotiuk bet 7,000 on the {2-Clubs} turn. The other two players folded as Kolotiuk showed {a-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} for a pair of deuces. Abakirov turned over {q-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} and was already out of his seat before the dealer turned over a {10-Hearts} on the river.
