Pustina Bets Big on the River
Level 19
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Heads-up to the turn on a board of 2♣J♥6♦Q♠ and with around 450,000 in the middle, Ivan Tikhov checked from the hijack and faced a bet of 250,000 by Vlastimil Pustina, who was seated in the cutoff. Tikohiv used one of his time banks before making the call.
A 9♣ fell to complete the board, causing Tikhov to check again. Pustina carved out a bet of 430,000, and Tikhov went into deep deliberation. In the end, Tikhov thought better of it and folded, allowing Pustina to pull in the pot.
