Pateychuk Tests Shushan Early

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Andrey Pateychuk didn't need to wait too long before he started causing problems for his table. On a board of 43Q42, there were around 100,000 chips in the pot when Pateychuk bet enough on the river to put Yaniv Shushan all-in, who had around 180,000 behind.

Shushan was in the tank for around two minutes and looked like he was about to make the call with his hand on his stack, but after another agonizing pause, he shook his head and made the fold.
