Buhaiov Flops Ace to Bust Istomin
Level 10
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Nazar Buhaiov open-raised to 16,000 in middle position. Aleksei Istomin was on the button and three-bet to 50,000, prompting Buhaiov to move all in for 370,000.
With 360,000 at his disposal, Istomin played slightly less, and he quickly called off for his tournament life.
Aleksei Istomin: Q♥Q♣
Nazar Buhaiov: A♥Q♠
Istomin just needed to fade an ace for a sizable double-up, but he was unable to do so on the A♣6♥J♠2♥6♦ runout and was eliminated instead.
