Fergenbaum and Istomin Knocked out
Level 15
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Matthew Fergenbaum jammed pocket fours with a short stack and Jessica Teusl just called out of the small blind. Aleksei Istomin jammed over the top and Teusl snap-called with the K♥K♠, catching Istomin with the inferior 8♦8♠. The board was all paint and Istomin saw his stack reduced to fumes.
Soon after, Istomin raised to 20,000 with 1,000 behind and Ljubomir Josipovic called.
The A♠10♦8♥ flop saw Istomin all-in with the A♥Q♠ and Josipovic had pulled ahead with the 10♥8♦. Nothing changed with the 4♥ turn and 6♦ river, sending Istomin to the rail as well.
Josipovic added further chips after to nearly reach seven figures.
