Venturelli Jams Into Sandev

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Without any limp or raise prior, Louis Venturelli made it 3,000 to go and Georgi Sandev in the next seat then three-bet small to 7,000. All players behind folded and Venturelli moved all in near instantly. Sandev reluctantly folded and flashed ace-king, Venturelli said he had ace-king as well.

Sandev then raised to 1,300 from the cutoff and was called by Max Faulkner as well as Chad Burum in the next seats. They headed to the 884 flop on which Sandev's bet of 1,400 won the pot uncontested.
