Uskov Quadruples; Then Busts

Level 12 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

While Igor Kurganov doubled, fellow countryman Alexander Uskov was reduced to less than one big blind and moved all in for 11,000. Fedor Holz raised to 32,000 and Manig Loeser reshoved for 144,000 in the small blind. That got Holz out of the way and Uskov had the chance to more than triple up thanks to the big blind and antes.

Manig Loeser: {J-Hearts}{J-Spades}
Alexander Uskov: {K-Spades}{8-Spades}

The board ran out {9-Hearts}{5-Spades}{3-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{7-Spades} and Uskov quadrupled. One hand later, he shoved from under the gun and the action folded to Sergio Aido in the big blind. The all in was for 48,000 and Aido called.

Alexander Uskov: {A-Clubs}{3-Clubs}
Sergio Aido: {Q-Spades}{5-Hearts}

After a board of {Q-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}, Aido claimed the pot with a pair of queens and Uskov headed to the rail.
