Margolin Meets Early End
Level 3
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Rustam Amirbekov flicked in 4,000 from middle position for a raise. Lev Margolin called in the cutoff, while Oleg Ustinovich three-bet to 16,000 from the small blind. Amirbekov folded, but Margolin called.
Ustinovich continued for 13,000 on the 4♣J♣J♠ flop. Margolin tossed in calling chips, seeing Ustinovich check to him on the 3♦ turn. Margolin then bet 55,000, the majority of his stack, and quickly called when Ustinovich put him all in.
Lev Margolin: 6♥6♦
Oleg Ustinovich: Q♥Q♦
Margolin needed a six to survive, but he did not find one on the K♠ river and was thus eliminated.
